We envision ecologically, economically, and socially responsible forestry as the standard for forest management
About us
The Forest Stewards Guild's mission is to promote ecologically, economically, and socially responsible forestry as a means of sustaining the integrity of forest ecosystems and the human communities dependent upon them. We are a professional organization of forest stewards and affiliates who are passionate about sustaining and restoring the integrity of our forests while meeting the needs of the communities that rely on them. Our members’ work provides tangible examples of forestry that is ecologically, economically, and socially responsible. The common bond of Guild members is a passion for forests and land stewardship. The practice of excellent forestry, promotion of a stewardship ethic, and adherence to our membership principles are the heart and soul of the Guild. Our members practice imaginative silviculture that respects the complexity of natural forests. We value the importance of field observation, experience, science, and continuous learning. We seek opportunities to collaborate, share our knowledge, and learn from others.

"Wildfires have already burned over 5 million acres this year. Currently, nearly 29,000 people are working to control 77 active wildfires in the U.S. One fire in California, the Park Fire, has covered nearly 430,000 acres – an area larger than the city of Houston, Texas. Guild members know that fire has an essential role in forested ecosystems, but we also know that many wildfires are now burning with uncharacteristic severity, destroying homes and causing irreparable ecological damage."

In many areas throughout the wood turtle’s range, populations are declining as habitat is converted to other land uses. Habitat fragmentation increases the risk of car strikes when crossing roads. Illegal collection compounds these threats by removing healthy, mature turtles from breeding populations. In areas where forests dominate the landscape, landowners can serve as important stewards for this species. https://lnkd.in/eE-huw7D #WoodTurtleConservation #HabitatProtection #WildlifeHabitat #EndangeredSpecies #ConservationEfforts #HabitatPreservation #WildlifeStewardship #ForestStewardship

The Guild's team of interns (Myra Traves, right, Phoebe Weinberg, middle and Miles Plitt, not pictured) are leading the NextGen Forest Project with The Nature Conservancy and oversight from Long View Forest to promote forest regeneration and climate-smart forest management on sites throughout Vermont and Massachusetts. This past July, they participated in a drone training day with TNC's Family Forest Owner Outreach Specialist, Nancy Marek, to learn how drone imagery can be captured and used in forest management. They took some great images of the nearby tree canopy and Long View's log yard! #ForestStewardsGuild #NextGenForestProject #NatureConservancy #ForestRegeneration #ClimateSmartForest #VermontForestry #MassachusettsForestry #DroneImagery #ForestManagement
