But alarmingly, studies reveal a 60% decline in the Wood Thrush population since 1970, echoing the fate of other migratory songbirds. Why? Our forests have become too uniform, often dominated by middle-aged trees, lacking the mosaic of...

    So... what's better... cut and drop trees, or kill the tree and leave them standing? And secondly, why is there disagreement between foresters over methods to improve the forest ? And lastly, is it possible to have a well rounded habitat for multiple species of wildlife, or, should I focus on a specific species like grouse?

    Have many great memories working there I was 24 when Bill Steers hired me. Worked from 1976 to 1980. I left to go work on a job clearing danger trees for 500KV power lines running from Medford Or. to Wyoming operating a 518 Cat skidder. Harold Simmons was my boss at Gilchrist Timber great guy and Marvin the guy that fueled and greaseed the equipment was a Pastor too , he gave me a little booklet about Jesus and I love Jesus to this day thanks to him. Started out throwing rocks and sticks off of logging roads. Worked with Bengie Gilchrist it never dawned on me he was the owners son lol. Then started as a knot bumper and worked my way up to a 667 clark skidder. The hard times I remember is working in snow probing for logs taking them to a landing with the wind blowing snow horizontally caking the side of my head with ice. If it wasn't for turning the fan blades to blow warm air on my body I would have froze . I loved every minute working in the woods, all that fresh air. My brother Alan Knoles operated the Debarker and floated logs to the mill. Just my little piece of the history. I lived in the little cabins on the river side of 97 with the single car garage between them . Cabin #1 paid 50.00 dollars a month what a deal. Love this video brings back great memories . I'll be 70 next Nov. Time sure flies ...

I was working also in germany as worker to do cleanings for newly reforested area but i think can do much better as forester who is menaging stateowned forest.

    Don't Cry. The whole Natural Resource field went from requiring an Associates Degree to now requiring a Masters Degree. Really?? Most of the jobs except for those in research, don't really require anything more than an Associates Degree. 15 - 20 years ago, you only had to be a high school graduate with a year or two of experience to become an Area Wildlife Manager. Has the work really changed that much to require a Masters Degree? I can see someone with a Masters running a farm tractor, planting food crops, on a fire line, fighting forest fires, using chain saws doing habitat improvement, after putting in 6 years in College, and spending $100.000 just to do manual labor. Really??

      It depends on what type of forestry job you want to do, as their are so many options. I am in the process of getting my associates in Forest Technology and have interned and worked under a few different companies. If you go into the procurement side of forestry, then you are likely to make decent money. I was making $18.00 an hour as a Raw Materials Intern at a really good forest products company, they also provided great benefits. But it also comes with a lot of stress, as I am sure other careers similar to this field do.
