MassWoods Forest Conservation Program - Upcoming Continuing Forestry Education Opportunities

Upcoming Continuing Forestry Education Opportunities

There is a wide variety of ways that Licensed Foresters can obtain a sufficient amount of Continuing Forestry Education (CFE) credits to maintain a license.

For more information on CFE for a Massachusetts Forester's License:

Below is a list of some upcoming CFE opportunities. UMass Extension provides these CFE opportunities as a service . Credits are in category 1 unless otherwise stated. Foresters may bring a "Continuing Forestry Education Certificate of Attendance" form to the event which can then be submitted with your license renewal application. If you are organizing an event and would like it rated for credit, contact: David Kittredge. This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it
