Done. Something that we overlooked.

Stephen Alford · January 29, 2010, 09:22:06 AM

Hey Ron, Brian makes asking look easy, if you had another "Forester designation" it would be appreciated. Thank-you Stephen.

Hey Guys i havent been here in a while, bought a house out of forclosure and been remodeling at my own pace so that takes a lot of time up. I don't have as much exp as you other guys and work for the feds so my exp is limited to the public sector.

I am a graduate of clemson university 04' and then went to work for the Army and then left after a little over a year to go get my MFR (masters of forest resources) 06'. While still in school i was hired by the Army Corps of Engineers as an assistant forester. I now manage the sales program for Military bases and the Civil Project lands in the Savannah District. Been here for the last 3 years, so if you dont count school (graduate yrs) i have 4 yrs.

My expertise would be in the timber sale area on the selling side, i do a little management but just enough to make me thirst for more.

Nate,

Good to see you back in the sadddle ;D. I do a lot of work with the Corps of Engineers on Wetlands Mitigation Banking. They can be tough to work with and slow

Pullinchips · February 17, 2010, 03:43:10 PM

Pullinchips · February 17, 2010, 06:22:15 PM

WDH · February 18, 2010, 08:06:12 AM

I was just reading through this thread and there is very impressive amount of knowledge and experience on here. If a person gets on this forum and can't find the answers to their questions they might need to open their ears and mind a bit more.

I found this thread to be very interesting AND entertaining. Your knowledge has been helpful to many. Holmes

Play a mean bluegrass guitar.

OK Phorester! I play the bass fiddle. Maybe one day we can hook up and play a tune in the forest around a fire (campfire). We could draw from the food thread and cook up something at the same time ;D

Resurrection of an old thread... I know... I have no forestry credentials at all, but I've also been known to pluck a guitar string or two... I'll bring my guitar to the next gathering that I can attend!

WDH · November 14, 2012, 08:14:00 PM

Deal!

SwampDonkey · November 14, 2012, 08:58:29 PM

My father hasn't played the fiddle in years and only when we were little tikes and didn't know what good fiddle playing was. :D ;)

My father's favorite player was Don Messer, who had a show on CBC TV but was also a NB'er.

Now that Ashely feller from NS is not even considered a fiddle player by someone like father. He's too wild and reckless with a fiddle. ;)
