Douglas Page is the recipient of the Presidential Field
Forester Award, presented to him by the Society of American Foresters
at their National Convention in Fort Worth, Texas in October 2005.
The award recognizes foresters who have displayed uncommon talent
and innovative methods to achieve excellence in forest management.
Page received his Masters degree in Forestry from Utah State University
in 1981, and is known to some as “T.W. Daniel’s last
graduate student.” (See UFN
Summer 04.) His thesis dealt with uneven-aged silviculture in
spruce-fir forest types. Page began his career as a forestry technician
1980 and held seasonal technician positions with the USDA Forest
Service in Utah, Oregon, Wyoming, and Arizona. Page’s career
also includes experience with state forestry agencies in Utah, Texas,
and Colorado. His permanent professional career with the Forest
Service included various forestry positions on the Targhee, Uinta,
Wasatch-Cache, and Ashley National Forests.
Recently, Page has begun a new career with the Bureau of Land Management
(BLM) as the Southwest Utah Zone Forester, serving six BLM Field
Offices and assisting the one other BLM forester in Utah with the
development of a forestry program for BLM in the state of Utah.
Page has been an enthusiastic cooperator with the Utah Forest Landowner
Education Program, devoting professional as well as personal time
to the benefit of Utah landowners.
