Mike Wolf is a forester and partner with Appalachian Forest Consultants and a feature writer for Trees of Pennsylvania. This feature, The Forester, is designed to address interesting and detailed topics related to forest management, wildlife habitat, and sustainable forestry practices.

If you are new to forest management topics, we encourage you to start with the Introductory Section below. If you are ready for a more advanced discussion on the subject, head right for the Advanced Section and get started. Both sections contain interesting and thought provoking articles.

The articles are designed to provide information, but also prompt a discussion from you, the participant. Whether you like what you read or want to present a differing opinion, don’t just sit on the sideline…add your comments to the articles here by clicking on the “add comment”  button that is associated with each article. Also, feel free to create your own discussion topics on the Forest Management and Timber Harvesting Group page.
