Definition
A person who manages, maintains, and protects forests, or alternatively, a surname derived from this occupation.
Etymology
From Middle English, derived from Old French forestier "forest keeper", from forest + -er (agent suffix). Originally denoted royal officials responsible for protecting game and timber in medieval forests, evolving into modern forest management professionals.
Kelly Says
Foresters were among the first environmental scientists, developing sustainable practices centuries before the term "ecology" existed. Their medieval role as protectors of the king's forests established them as early conservationists, balancing human needs with natural preservation in ways that feel remarkably modern.
