bullet2 ANNEX 5.1 Professional forestry associations in the Commonwealth

This list of professional forestry associations in the Commonwealth primarily covers associations and societies which deal with the subject of forestry rather than with wood-processing or other forestry-related subjects but some of these associations (and their journals - see Annex 5.2) have been included where they are of particular interest to foresters.  The associations listed generally aim to promote the exchange of information among professional foresters, but accrediting institutions have also been included (Chapter 5).
