One resource that every Indiana forest landowner should be familiar with is their District Forester. He or she is a good starting point for your forestry questions.

IFWOA publishes a biennial Directory of Professional Foresters, which is listed by Consulting foresters and Industrial foresters.

A Consulting Forester is a self-employed professional forester who offers   management services to private forestland owners for a fee. The consultant is not an employee of  the government or of a wood-using industry, but works solely for the forestland management objectives.

An Industrial Forester is a professional forester employed by an industry for procurement of timber, forestland management, improved utilization of materials in manufacturing or other technical assignment. Those listed in this directory may  provide management assistance to private forestland owners for a fee or other consideration. For additional directory hard copies, contact the address below.
