Description
In an attempt to begin to understand some of the changing needs of the professional forester, this presentation provides information about a study that looked at the private consultant and the current needs of education to best prepare students to be successful in this specialization. Consultants in Texas were surveyed to determine what they are doing in the field, how they assessed their preparedness for those requirements, and what students need to be learning now to be prepared as top notch professionals and leaders. The presentation looks at the trends affecting decision making of the natural resource programs and how the pieces of what the consulting profession is telling us are the concerns for current and future foresters' education fit into those trends.
