Steve Langenbau absolutely lying through his teeth talking about "plenty of jobs" out there for those guys. No bro lol. Unless you're an Alexander, or have land out there already, you're not gonna make it in Hill City, and it's pretty insulting to hear the dude say it like that. I don't live there anymore, I moved back to AZ a year before the shut down, but I heard all the talk about potential shut downs. I worked at the Exxon for like 3 months while I waited for an opening at the mill. That's pretty much the only life style there is now, work for Vic and live in one of Vic's places. My heart goes out to those people, but they kind of deserve it because they just let me get my heart broken out there. It's Hali Collin's fault.

It's unfortunate. The education is there. There are plenty of people who are interested, but being in this industry is pay to play and simply a privilege. The majority of work requires GS 5 level and often offer salaries as low as $18 an hour. Theres no insensitive. I was considering starting as a tech in the lower levels and get educated while i get hands on experience but the pay just doesnt allow one to breathe. What a shame

What the majority of people don’t understand is forestry is just mimicking, and speeding up what mother nature wants. It is also less stressful on the planet doing it in a controlled way.

merickahns : not a single mention of how this is aboriginal lands you derive your wealth from. #imbeciles

Let us manage the plantation for us that are going up in smoke

The benevolent elephant is coming to your rescue

Thank you for not mentioning global change. But I would add that the invasive house sparrow is wiping out other bird species.

So... what's better... cut and drop trees, or kill the tree and leave them standing? And secondly, why is there disagreement between foresters over methods to improve the forest ? And lastly, is it possible to have a well rounded habitat for multiple species of wildlife, or, should I focus on a specific species like grouse?

Excellent video I am definitely going to get involved with my local chapter here in North Georgia. Took a quick look at some of the projects going on in conjunction with Chattahoochee NF and I think this approach is one in need of more attention

Would love to work in forestry but it seems very specialized. No money and no jobs.

Have many great memories working there I was 24 when Bill Steers hired me. Worked from 1976 to 1980. I left to go work on a job clearing danger trees for 500KV power lines running from Medford Or. to Wyoming operating a 518 Cat skidder. Harold Simmons was my boss at Gilchrist Timber great guy and Marvin the guy that fueled and greaseed the equipment was a Pastor too , he gave me a little booklet about Jesus and I love Jesus to this day thanks to him. Started out throwing rocks and sticks off of logging roads. Worked with Bengie Gilchrist it never dawned on me he was the owners son lol. Then started as a knot bumper and worked my way up to a 667 clark skidder. The hard times I remember is working in snow probing for logs taking them to a landing with the wind blowing snow horizontally caking the side of my head with ice. If it wasn't for turning the fan blades to blow warm air on my body I would have froze . I loved every minute working in the woods, all that fresh air. My brother Alan Knoles operated the Debarker and floated logs to the mill. Just my little piece of the history. I lived in the little cabins on the river side of 97 with the single car garage between them . Cabin #1 paid 50.00 dollars a month what a deal. Love this video brings back great memories . I'll be 70 next Nov. Time sure flies ...

Didn’t video this in ky?

I been building brush piles for them.

Share!

This is a great video that showcases how forest management is much more than tree farming for big industry. Wish we could get this message out to more people. If you want to combat climate change, start logging and build more wood structures!

Amen Brother! Amen.

Forestry is a great career. I graduated from Auburn several years ago with a forestry degree in a class of about 30 people. Every single person had a job lined up before graduation. I can't think of many other majors that can say that.

Woot! Simple, Clear, and on Point. Thank you!

Forests burned more often than they do after influence of man. That’s a whole lot of carbon being released in the atmosphere for thousands of years. I’m not buying this take on the situation.

This is the only organization that the government has that has been run properly and for the good of the country well the rest of it not so goddamn much😮

i'm from Europe/Poland and i gradueted forestry. I love to learn about it. I was corious how is it looking in the new world and i can say it's closly related. And i think this is awsome. Also it is hard to find job as a forester in my homeland, even thow that 1/3 of Poland is forested area. I was working also in germany as worker to do cleanings for newly reforested area but i think can do much better as forester who is menaging stateowned forest. I am still waithing to start my 1 year intership as a forester. I already heve some practis as student/apprentice. I even made a cours for lumerjack... I just love nature. who knows mybe US... Nahhh I love my carpathian moutains

Is it possible to a forest engineer from Turkey come and work in United States? (With 2 years of forest fire experience, one year of silviculture and one year of forest industry experience)

Lost my Best friend Yesterday

Is this the Malcolm North that was at the Mather and Timberline garden locations of the Carnegie Institute when I visited it with a class from San Jose State University with Dr, Cliff Schmidt in about 1972 or 73?

Why is it not called ''DeForestry''. It seems mostly deforestation...

Don't Cry. The whole Natural Resource field went from requiring an Associates Degree to now requiring a Masters Degree. Really?? Most of the jobs except for those in research, don't really require anything more than an Associates Degree. 15 - 20 years ago, you only had to be a high school graduate with a year or two of experience to become an Area Wildlife Manager. Has the work really changed that much to require a Masters Degree? I can see someone with a Masters running a farm tractor, planting food crops, on a fire line, fighting forest fires, using chain saws doing habitat improvement, after putting in 6 years in College, and spending $100.000 just to do manual labor. Really??

The wildland fires are worse

Currently i am doing bsc forestry in nepal .. but i don't think there is any scope of it.. so which country is best to get job in this field?

Always wanted to pursue forestry but it doesn't seem to have good pay or benefits

Well I’m very excited to announce that I will be joining the ranks in the work to maintain and conserve our natural resources 🏔️🌊🌲

Thanks for this! I’m going back to get my second bachelors in forestry next year.

Truth to Power......and Comment to Algorithm!

Standard of Quality for mills, community and meaningful impact to restore our forest resilience. Gilchrist Mill is the poster child for Mills in Oregon.

My Grandfather sold logs to Mr.Gilchrist and so did my Dad Wilber Sumpter back in the day.

I love forestry, just recently earned a bacherlors degree in forestry in Germany. I‘m planning on doing a masters degree too. I don‘t want to stay in Germany, but I guess it‘ll be really difficult to get a Job in the US. Any thoughts?

Hill city is a special place. Great steaks at alpine inn. Beautiful landscape. Sad to hear about the mill

I'm finnaly going back to school and am reaching for my bachelor's degree in forestry here in Arizona

In the book The Secret Life of Plants a chapter is dedicated to insect control using a toxic material coating the lens of a camera and photographing fields from the air. It worked but was squelched by big chemical companies. could this work on beetles?

@Spru-Seal organic balm we need to learn more about "Stewardship" & "Good Neighbor Authority" contracts to help the Spruce Heal!!! Could dedicate our summers to three weeks of landscaping and one week in the forest among the mighty Spruce every month!

Are there scholarships for interested international students?

Shit management.

I've been considering going into forestry because I love nature and taking care of it, but not sure if it a secure job nor really if it has decent pay.

I lived there in the late 70's. It was so fun. It was a happy village 😊.

you need to add tags to your vids, good work tho

My hometown. I'll always miss her.

yo gilchrist is my last name

My home town! It's a little sad now but the memories of growing up there are fresh and vibrant in my mind. No better place to be a kid!

Love it. The real story.
