You’ll regularly collaborate with forestry crews, environmental specialists, and management to implement best practices and ensure compliance with labor agreements. Union Forestry professionals often rotate between different sites and projects, adapting to seasonal changes and weather conditions. The position emphasizes teamwork, clear communication, and a commitment to safe, sustainable forest stewardship.
