As a manager of a public or private forestry operation, they are able to develop and implement a business plan. In doing so, they have to reconcile profitability, work safety, rational use of machinery, and also the interests of silviculture, nature conservation and the public.

They are also often involved in education and training and maintain contacts with all professional and personal groups interested in the forest.
