What
does it take to be a Pennsylvania Forest Steward (PAFS)?
PAFSs
should have a keen interest in the future of Pennsylvania's forest resources
and should be willing to demonstrate a stewardship ethic on their own
woodlands. To be a PAFS you must be willing to:
- Think of forests as more than just trees and timber. Forests serve important environmental functions as thriving biological communities comprised of many kinds of plants and animals.
- Learn to take into account
all the potential uses and benefits of forests — including environmental
balance, recreation, timber, and natural beauty—as you manage forest
resources.
- Share what you learn with
friends, neighbors, or others in your community.
- Join a network of other
informed woodland owners and professional natural resource managers.
- Act responsibly in managing your forestland for future generations.
