Find a VT Licensed Forester

Your Trusted Partners in Woodland Stewardship

Finding a consulting forester can be challenging- we are here to help! 

A consulting forester can help you understand your woods, clarify your goals, and make informed decisions about the care and future of your land. Whether you are developing a forest management plan, improving wildlife habitat, preparing for a timber harvest, or simply wondering where to begin, finding the right forester is an important first step. 

To help landowners connect with qualified professionals, VWA maintains a directory of VWA Consulting Forester members. These foresters are independent professionals, not VWA employees, who have completed our application and review process. The VWA Consulting Forester Committee reviews their qualifications, experience, and references before approving them for membership. 

Our directory provides a trusted starting point. 

To help landowners connect with qualified professionals, VWA maintains a directory of VWA Consulting Forester members. These foresters are independent professionals, not VWA employees, who have completed our application and review process.

The VWA Consulting Forester Committee reviews applicants’ qualifications, professional experience, work history, and references before approving them for membership. Members have demonstrated experience in forest management planning, timber-sale administration, and forestry education or outreach.

We encourage you to speak with prospective foresters about their experience, approach, services, and availability to determine who is the best fit for you and your woodland.

Directory of Consulting Forester Members

Our directory includes VWA Consulting Forester members. They are independent consulting foresters, not VWA employees, who have completed our application and review process. The VWA Consulting Forester Committee reviews their qualifications, experience, and references before approving them for membership. The directory provides a trusted starting point, but each forester operates an independent business. We encourage you to schedule a phone conversation with any prospective forester to learn about their experience, approach, and availability and determine whether they are a good fit for you and your woodland.
