Forester: Dave Conser for Alachua County

Alachua County Forester, Dave Conser

My name is Dave Conser.  People slaughter my last name, but you can remember that it’s the first part of “conser-vation”!  I’ve been working for the Florida Forest Service as the County Forester who serves Alachua County, for 31 years.  I like my job, obviously!  I truly enjoy meeting landowners and homeowners, and looking over their forests and trees.  I celebrate how every single person and every single piece of land is unique – there is a wonderful ecology in both people and nature.  I assist folks with forest management advice, provide urban forest advice in towns and yards, carry out prescribed (controlled) burning, and provide environmental education.  I graduated from the University of Florida with a Bachelor’s of Science in Forest Management in 1981.  I’m a Certified Arborist and a Certified Prescribed Burn Manager.  I look forward to meeting you and assisting you.
