Think you know what a career in forestry would look like? There’s so much more to it than trees! In this industry, we fly drones, operate heavy equipment, create complex mapping systems, use intricate software systems, and protect the environment by using forestry Best Management Practices to protect wildlife, plant life and water quality.

Nassau County high school juniors and seniors are invited to join us for the first-ever Forestry Career Day. Meet career professionals from local companies that work in forestry, one of Florida’s most important industries. Learn how to control pollinate with a tree improvement team, fly a drone, operate various types of heavy equipment and find out what it’s really like to be behind the wheel of a log truck.
