About the Georgia State Board of Registration for Foresters
About The Board
The Georgia General Assembly created the Georgia State Board of Registration for Foresters in 1951 to protect public health, safety, and welfare by regulating those who engage in the practice of professional forestry. The Board has the authority to adopt rules, set standards for licensure, adopt mandatory standards of professional conduct, and investigate and discipline unauthorized, negligent, or incompetent practice. The Board is comprised of six members appointed by the Governor: five registered foresters and one member appointed from the public at large. All members are appointed for terms of five years.
