North Carolina
 State Board of Registration for Foresters		  
 
 
 
 
 
  
WELCOME!

The North Carolina Board of Registration for Foresters was established with the passage of G.S. 89B. This Chapter requires that anyone who uses the designation forester, registered forester, or any other descriptive terms that include the words forester or registered forester and that directly conveys that the person is a forester must be registered with the Board. This benefits and protects the public by improving the standards for the practice of professional forestry in North Carolina.

The Board reviews the qualifications and experience of applicants, receives and investigates complaints, and takes appropriate actions against those who violate forestry registration laws.

Correspondence for the Board should be directed to Jennifer Grantham, NCBRF Executive Director via email to info@ncbrf or via phone to 919-847-5441.Board office hours are Monday and Wednesday 9 am - 5 pm.

By State law, the Board's Administrative Rules are undergoing their Periodic Review, to be concluded at the November 2024 meeting of the NC Rules Review Commission.

Licensees, registrants, businesses and the public-at-large can submit comments and suggestions on any Board Rule. The Board and the Rules Review Commission will review all comments received and use them in final determinations for all Rules.

The public may provide comments from 8/15/2024 through 10/14/2024.

A public comment is defined as a written comment objecting to the rule, in whole or in part, received by an agency from any member of the public, including an association or other organization representing the regulated community or other members of the public (G.S. 150B-21.3A(a)(5)).
