How The Course Was Developed This course was developed to make it more convenient for professional foresters in Georgia and beyond to satisfy the forestry registration requirements. The State of Georgia requires registered foresters earn 12 hours of continuing forestry education credits of which one (1) hour must be earned in the area of professional ethics in forestry.
