The Society of American Foresters grants recognition only to educational programs leading to a two-year associate degree in forest technology or the equivalent. The institutions named below have requested SAF recognition and have certified that they offer programs that meet or exceed SAF minimum standards relating to objectives, curriculum, faculty, students, administration, parent-institution support, and physical resources and facilities. SAF-recognized curricula are periodically reviewed and are required to submit documentation showing compliance with mimimum standards. SAF recognition is not the equivalent of accreditation of professional forestry programs.

The first year shown in each entry indicates the year initial recognition status was granted; the second year indicates the year the last site review was completed; and the third year indicates the year current recognition expires. Not all curricula at these institutions are SAF-recognized. Only those curricula listed below lead to a SAF-approved forest technology degree.

For further information, contact the Department of Field Services, Society of American Foresters, 5400 Grosvenor Lane, Bethesda, MD 20814-2198; (301) 897-8720, ext. 123 or clarkt@safnet.org.
