FORESTRY CONTINUING EDUCATION PROGRAM

General Information

Go to Approved Category 1 Activities for:     2004     2003     2002     2001    2000
  The Objective:

■  Encourage foresters and allied professionals in a formal program of continuing education and professional development.

■  Stimulate individual self-assessment by providing standards for achievement.

■  Advance the knowledge and skills of those engaged in forestry.

■  Give recognition, through issuance of a certificate, to those completing the program and    thereby demonstrating continued learning and development.

.

  Requirements:

Participants must complete 150 contact hours of continuing forestry education and professional development during a three-year period. Since the program is basically self-designed and self-paced, success depends on individual participation and integrity.  See the list of workshops (Approved Category 1 links above) for a schedule of upcoming and past conferences, seminars, and workshops that are approved in Texas.  Upon completion and approval of a CFE application, participants receive a certificate of recognition, a letter of acknowledgment to their employer upon request, and publication of their name in the Journal of Forestry or The Forestry Source upon request.  Special recognition and benefits are available to those who go beyond the basic requirements for a certificate.
