Silviculture and forestry workers carry out thinning projects (brush clearing), fell trees and conduct forest inventory. They reforest logging sites, classify trees for pickup (timber marking), map forestry roads and determine cutover areas. As part of their duties, they may be required to monitor work and control felling. It is a demanding but rewarding job for those who enjoy working outdoors. A job as a silviculture and forestry worker requires being in excellent physical condition as well as qualities such as self-reliance, meticulousness and thoroughness.
