The California Society of American Foresters is a Unit of the Society of American Foresters (SAF). SAF is a national organization with headquarters in Washington, DC. The Society is organized across the Unites States and Canada, and serves as an accreditation and research body representing all segments of the forestry profession; including public and private practitioners, administrators, educators, and forestry students. SAF governs a majority of the political and scientific topics at the national level, which allows each jurisdiction to represent itself independently (guided by SAF’s Mission and Code of Ethics).
The mission of the Society of American Foresters is to advance sustainable management of forest resources through science, education, and technology, promoting professional excellence while ensuring the continued health, integrity, and use of forests to benefit society in perpetuity.
