forest manager Explanation: Depends on how the term actually occurs in your text as to whether you'd want to retain the French term with just an explanation in English... would need more context... http://www.ca.courses-careers.com/articles/forest_manager.ht... Forest managers are specialists in the science and practice of caring for woodlands, both for the commercial production of timber and for conservation and recreation purposes. They are responsible for managing the forest and the people who work in and visit it. The work involves an annual programme of work to plant, manage and harvest trees, as well as arranging and negotiating the sale of the timber. Managers also plan and supervise general maintenance work. Strict health and safety regulations must be followed. Where the forest is used as a centre for recreation, managers might be involved with laying out nature trails and protecting the forest's wildlife. They must maintain good relations with neighbouring landowners and the public, and liaise with timber merchants and local authorities. Cross-over with the ONF's "agent patrimonial": http://www.onf.fr/l_onf/sommaire/metiers/metiers/metierprod/... L’agent patrimonial est traditionnellement l’une des fonctions essentielles de l’ONF, au plus près du terrain. Il assure les activités de base de la gestion patrimoniale d’une forêt ou d’un espace naturel, et participe à un certain nombre d’actions spécialisées dans ce domaine. Il travaille sur son triage (zone géographique qui relève de sa responsabilité) au sein d’une unité territoriale. * Imprimer * Envoyer à un ami * Diminuer la taille de la police * Augmenter la taille de la police * Ajouter aux favoris Son quotidien 1.

heritage officer/manager Explanation: These terms are quite commonly used for this sort of position. One of the links below even refers specifically to the ONF. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 45 mins (2009-10-16 08:43:25 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- If you want to specify that this is forestry-related, you could add 'forest' so either 'forest heritage manager' or 'forest heritage officer'. I actually like 'manager' better than 'officer', even though the ONF-related link here uses 'officer'. And additional link for 'heritage manager': http://www.forestry.gov.uk/newsrele.nsf/WebNewsReleases/312B... -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 56 mins (2009-10-16 08:54:13 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Another option if you want to make the type of heritage obvious (like by adding 'forest' in front) is 'natural heritage manager'. Natural heritage is popular term for forestry and related work (http://www.snh.org.uk/pdfs/publications/commissioned_reports...
