About the Doug Denico Outstanding Forester Award: This award will be given to an individual that has demonstrated an extraordinary ability to directly apply forest management practices in a “working forest” environment on either private or public lands. Application of a broad range of silvicultural practices and the supervision of operational activities is a prerequisite for this award. The individual must demonstrate the ability to adopt emerging concepts and research results to improve forest management. The ability to incorporate other societal and biological considerations such as aesthetics and wildlife into silvicultural practices must be shown as well. The individual must have the ability to mentor other forest practitioners in forest management practices.
