Doug Page Wins 2005 National Field Forester Award  
     
  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.
