You will find your career enhanced by chartered status, and the process of becoming a Professional Member is highly rewarding in itself.
For me, good forestry is about both long-term woodland resilience and investing in the people who will care for those landscapes in future.
Going through PME is a big piece of work and it was a significant milestone in my career. I feel proud to have achieved the MICFor post-nominals.
I always knew I wanted to be a forester and use my technical knowledge and skills to manage the forests and land.
The Institute has provided a platform which has enabled me to apply good governance and high professional standards in my day-to-day role.
Membership of the ICF offers reassurance to collaborators that I am accountable and working to a set of ethical standards.
Simply put, the Institute is the only Royal-Chartered body which represents arboricultural professionals.
I have always loved being outdoors and within nature, so pursuing a career in this area seemed like an obvious choice.
As well as demonstrating my continued commitment to the forestry industry, I believe that chartered status will be a strong foundation upon which to develop my career and build professional relationships based on trust and respect.
Being chartered reassures my clients that they are working with someone that has achieved industry recognition.
Being a member means I have people I can talk to about issues I want to know more about. Through the commitment to continued professional development, the Institute encourages me to better myself by learning more about the industry as a whole.
Becoming a Chartered Forester has enabled me to grow my forestry skills with confidence within a nurturing and supportive environment.
Being chartered gives me professional recognition and reassurance to my clients of the quality they are seeking.
ICF membership has provided me with the opportunity to learn from other professionals and to better understand the different pressures and opportunities within the wider industry.
Being chartered has enabled me to contribute to enhancing the overall status of the arboricultural profession, which is very important to me.
I feel that one of the most important parts of being a member is the need to undertake and record CPD.
