Ä¢¹½Av-Endorsed Foresters in New York

These foresters have completed our training and submitted examples of their work to demonstrate their understanding of bird-friendly activities.
Endorsement Program

If you're interested in managing your forest for wildlife habitat or other objectives, Ä¢¹½Av recommends connecting with a forester who can help you plan and implement management activities. Depending on their business focus and additional certifications, a forester can help you with things like writing a forest management plan for your property, implementing management activities, and enrolling in forest tax law programs.
