How do you maintain a license?

Policy 2: Continuing Forestry Education

(1) The purpose of the continuing education requirement is to insure that practitioners obtain current scientific and technical information.

(2) Each Licensed Forester shall complete an average of at least 20 Continuing Forestry Education ("CFE") credits per year to maintain his or her license. The average shall be calculated for the 3-year period coinciding with the terms of the license. Some of the activities that receive credits are listed by the SAF in the News Quarterly of the New England SAF and other publications. There is also a list of activities maintained on this web site.The FLB may appoint a committee of evaluators to determine the credits for all activities, and upon request, the FLB shall provide a list of activities that qualify.

Submit a portfolio of Continuing Forestry Education evidence to the Massachusetts Forester Licensing Board (FLB) (20 credits/year, on an annual 1-year basis).
