What determines which foresters are listed in the list of foresters?
I believe anyone who desires may appear on the list. A potential client should then review the foresters credentials i.e. education, experience, state licensure, memberships in professional groups. In some states more than other I would bet, forestry can be a profession where anyone working in the woods is tempted to call themselves a forester, but technically are not. It's best to do your homework and really find out for yourself. It should be pretty clear.
