Local Skills. Faster Action. Healthier Forests.
We train and accredit local community members to carry out clearly defined forest management tasks to professional standards.
Like paramedics support doctors,
paraforesters support foresters.
This expands capacity for practical, field-based work without losing professional oversight.
What Issues Do We Solve?
Across the world, an increasing number of communities are responsible for their forests but everyday technical work still depends on external professionals. When those professionals are far away, expensive, or overstretched, vital action gets delayed or not done.
Like a patient requiring medical attention,
forests can’t wait.
Paraforesters Bridge The Gap
Paraforesters don’t replace professional foresters, they assist and complement them. After being trained, tested and accredited, they expand capacity by conducting routine, field-based work, freeing professionals to focus on larger scale planning, operations and oversight.
