William’s Answer

Field work and education being good career opportunities in forestry is okay. Other areas of opportunities include: Conservation for sustaining biodiversity, ecosystems services and resources, climate actions against desertification and more.
Forestry is applied in agriculture as in gardening.
Natural resource management is another area to tap into. Usefulness of forests as game and nature reserves, parks and more.
Forestry is useful in environmental sciences, environmental management, town planning, geography and geology. Water-shed and water-drop management as in catchment areas of various river basin schemes are backed by forestry inputs. Environmental assessments and monitoring also involved studies in forestry. Climate change and global warming researches involve studies in forestry.
