Is a forestry career unrealistic for me?
The only forestry experience I have was with a conservation corps falling trees, cleaning up the mess and burning piles. I took a few forestry classes at a cc and learned some things about the industry but have no clue how to really get in.
Since then ive been working as an environmental field tech collecting groundwater data and samples and I have an undergraduate degree in biology.
My question would be if its realistic for me now to get a job in forestry, specifically a job that isnt as labor intensive as cutting trees because i dont think my body can handle any more of that lol, something more in the realm of forest ecology, restoration or even fire. And if not what would be the steps i could take to get there. Im not opposed to going back to school if that helps.
Thanks for any info!
