NC STATE BOARD OF REGISTRATION FOR FORESTERS
No.36 February, 2000
Continuing Forestry Education:
Just as a reminder! The following information is copied from the June, 1999, Newsletter, and is
included here to remind all RF's of the new requirements to maintain their current Registration.
Section 89B-1 l-(b) of House Bill 577 states that The Board shall require registered foresters to attend
continuing education courses approved by the Board, not to exceed 12 hours per year, as a condition
of renewal.
Proposed rules require that every non-retired Registered Forester have at least 10 hours of CFE’s per
year (6 SAF category 1, & 4 SAF cat. 1, 2, 3, or 4), beginning the fiscal year July 1, 1999-June 30,
2000. All retired foresters wishing to remain on registered status must have at least 3 credit hours per
year. RF’s will be required to certify their CFE’s when they renew their application annually. Any
CFE’s earned prior to July 1, 1999, will not be acceptable to be used towards the June 30, 2000,
requirements.
A copy of the DRAFT CFE Activity Report is included with this newsletter. Each RF will receive
another copy of the form with their
2000/2001
renewal information. The copy is provided for
reference only, and is not required to be completed or sent back to this office at this time.
A list of websites, telephone numbers, and other pertinent information concerning continuing
education programs being offered by colleges, universities, and other certified forestry associations,
are included in this newsletter.
