This book serves as a comprehensive guide for individuals considering forestry as a profession, detailing aspects of what it entails, including the knowledge required, the various duties of a forester, and the significance of forests to the nation’s ecology and economy. Pinchot emphasizes the rewarding nature of forestry while also cautioning that it is not suited for everyone. At the start of the book, Gifford Pinchot addresses the common questions that young men have when contemplating a career in forestry. He discusses what constitutes a forest and outlines the essential knowledge needed to become an effective forester, such as understanding the intricate interplay between various tree species and their environment. Pinchot portrays the forester’s role as critical for ensuring the sustainable use of forest resources, while also proposing that those without a genuine passion for forest life should reconsider their choice, as the field demands a true commitment to both nature and the community.
