Our Mission
Our mission as foresters is to be responsible stewards of the
earth's forests while meeting society's vital needs. The
challenge of our mission lies in keeping forest ecosystems healthy
and intact while concurrently drawing on their resources. We will
meet this challenge by carefully monitoring and managing the
effects of natural and human forces on the forest. Our decisions
will be guided by our professional knowledge, our compassion for
all living things, our desire to improve citizens' lives, and our
respect and concern for the entire forest ecosystem. By advancing
forestry science, education, technology and the practice of
forestry, The Maine Division of NESAF will provide the leadership
to achieve its mission.
