Society of American Foresters, NC State Chapter

Check out what's going on with the North Carolina State University (NCSU) student chapter of the Society of American Foresters (SAF).

The Society of American Foresters (SAF) is the largest professional society representing foresters and natural resource professionals. The Society has advanced research, education, and connections between professionals and students for over a century. One function of SAF is to accredit universities and colleges curricula in forestry. Each university with an accredited degree has the opportunity to

establish a student chapter. NC State's SAF student chapter is a strong group with both undergraduate and graduate student involvement. The NC State student chapter brings together students from all stages of the program. Student members are engaged with coordinated meetings with the professional Triangle SAF Chapter. Our cooperative activities include the spring dinner, hosted and supported by the student chapter, and representation at the Arbor Day celebration at the Raleigh farmers market. The student chapter organizes two major trips for students. Each fall the chapter travels to attend the SAF national convention. Preceding the convention, the student members, accompanied by the faculty advisor, engage in a wilderness expedition. The final day of the wilderness excursion leads into travel to the convention and participation in the intercollegiate quiz bowl to review forestry science and to kick off the national convention. The second trip is to the regional Appalachian Society of American Foresters meeting.

The Silviculture class visited Claridge Nursery in Goldsboro yesterday! Learned a lot about seedling growth, orchards, and genetics in tree improvement! Pictured is a ‘lifter’ taking the seedlings out of the ground to be stored and sold!

Hello Everyone,
The semester is just getting started and we have events coming up. Several students in our chapter will be traveling to Portland Oregon in the next week for a wilderness trip and convention. We hope to see NC State Alumni and former faculty there!
We are also looking to have a stream cleanup soon, but are waiting to see if the extra waters from Florence will dry up a bit more by the weekend.

First meeting is this Monday at 5:30pm. We will be meeting by the picnic tables in front of the CNR library. There will be pizza and drinks and info about the new semester. Hope to see you there!
