forester
Timber lands keeper
A forester is a person who manages forests—overseeing tree planting, timber harvesting, fire prevention, and wildlife habitat.
The work combines conservation with resource management: The forester marked which trees could be cut.
Forester also names various moths whose caterpillars feed on forest trees.
