Since the establishment of the Maine Forest Service in 1891, its scope
has expanded from its primary mission of protecting the land from fire,
to providing forest management, harvesting, utilization, stewardship,
policy, outreach and education to landowners, and others in Maine.
Historically the educational efforts have been delivered through
workshops, publications, exhibits, classroom visits, presentations,
public service announcements, personalized site visits, and electronic
communications. External collaboration with many organizations makes
the delivery of these programs possible. Internally, our educational
programs are delivered by field foresters, forest rangers, Landowner
Outreach Forester, Natural Science Educator, Water Resources Forester,
Community Forester, and various content specialists.
