Nominate an ATFS Volunteer Inspector Tree Farm Inspector of the Year Contest
The American Forest Foundation sponsors this annual award to recognize top performers among the thousands of Tree Farm inspecting foresters. Any inspecting forester can be nominated with approval from the state committee chair. The nominee does not necessarily have to be the state’s inspector of the year.
While certification and reinspection activity is a requisite, equal emphasis is placed on promotion of ATFS, and involvement in the forestry community in general. The winner receives the Wes Meier Award – a special marble and wood plaque – an LL Bean gift certificate, and Tree Farm logo merchandise. The winning inspector will also receive a travel stipend to the 2006 National Tree Farmer Convention in Mobile, Alabama,October 19-22, 2006, where the award ceremony will take place. National and regional winners are featured in Tree Farmer Magazine.
Nomination forms are available through your state committee or onthe Inspector’s Corner section of the Tree Farm website, www.treefarmsystem.org > Tree Farm in your state >Inspector’s Corner.
