Benefits of ACF

from Edward F. Steigerwaldt, National ACF President 2006 – 2008

As a long term ACF member, I can easily list the incredible benefits of membership. Some of these include:

  1. Personal contacts with the most knowledgeable foresters in the world. At any meeting I can quickly get a read on forest markets throughout the country and find out about new technology.
  2. ACF members routinely share information and mentor young members.
  3. My best friends are ACF members.
  4. Annual meetings are held in various states where the meetings and surrounding areas are interesting. The meetings have excellent topics, and of course, you can meet foresters from around the country.
  5. ACF Errors and Omissions Insurance.
  6. Code of Ethics with enforcement.
  7. Opportunities to learn leadership by participating in conferences, committees, and serving with a chapter leader or ACF Board Member.

With ACF, I can say that I have gained knowledge and skills that cannot be learned in any other way.

Membership

Learn about the benefits of being a member.

ACF membership is one of the most important career moves a consulting forester can make.

The ACF’s candidacy process is selective and demands an ongoing investment of time, money and effort – but that selectivity is what makes full ACF membership such an important asset for a consulting forester.

History

Keep Wisconsin strong.

The Wisconsin Chapter of Consulting Foresters was formed in 1980 with Edward F. Steigerwaldt, Sr. as the first Wisconsin Chapter President. As an early member of the National ACF, Ed quickly saw the need for highly-skilled consultant foresters to work with private land owner.
