Regulatory Framework: Virginia Code § 10.1-1181.9 establishes educational and experience requirements to legally use the professional title of forester. The Virginia Department of Forestry (VDOF) maintains an administrative directory of private consulting foresters who attest to title compliance. Landowner fiduciary protections are established through private agency contracts and professional codes of ethics, including the Association of Consulting Foresters (ACF) and Society of American Foresters (SAF).
