Forest Management for Wildlife Certificate

The Forest Wildlife Habitat Manager credential is a collaborative professional credential that recognizes foresters who have the knowledge, skills, and experience to manage forests for wildlife habitat. The credentialing course focuses on applying the information learned in Forest Management for Wildlife Certificate workshops by working directly with landowners to identify their management goals, write a management plan, present the management plan to the landowners and the credentialing board, and mark their timber.

Upon successful completion of the program, participants will receive Wisconsin’s only recognized credential for managing forests for wildlife habitat. The Forest Wildlife Habitat Manager designation will be added to the “Desired Cooperating Forester Certifications” on the Wisconsin DNR’s Forestry Assistance Locator and you will have the opportunity to share your contact information with DMAP participants.
