What Does a Forest Ranger Do?

Forest Ranger is trained to handle many of the situations that may arise in the forest. He supervises the work of timber extraction, camp organization, survey, road and tramline aligning constructions, regeneration survey, plantation, nursery, conversion of timber in mill, timber disposal, timber export, depot organization, marking, enumeration and other preliminary works. While this is often a part of the job, forest rangers may be involved in a wide range of activities, including:

• Planting seedlings
• Monitoring seedling growth and inspecting tree stands for signs of pests and disease
• Spraying or injecting pesticides to protect trees and shrubs
• Counting numbers of trees examined during forest inventories
• Removing diseased trees with hand or power equipment
• Loading cut trees onto trucks
• Operating skidders and trucks
• Preventing fires through construction of fire lines
• Fighting forest fires
• Improving trails
• Conducting informational and educational programs
• Participating in search and rescue missions
• Maintaining and repairing agency vehicles
• Collecting GPS data with handheld global positioning systems (GPS) devices
