On September 8, 1905, Richard H. Molpus and M.H. Henderson formed a partnership that would end of having an influence on people throughout the United States for generations to come. From this humble start, Molpus stands as one of the oldest timber-related companies in the U.S. We proudly celebrate 119 years of impacting the local economies and lives in the communities in which we operate. Today, as a company managing over 1.7 million acres of working forests in 15 states, we practice responsible forest stewardship and conservation through our sustainability policies and practices. We manage on behalf of pension funds, college endowments, foundations, insurance companies and others. We have almost all of our forests open to for either public access or private lease for recreational purposes. We support education through internships and an expansive scholarship program with ten public universities located in some of the country’s most forested states, with rich histories and strong forest communities. After 119 years, forests aren’t just our focus, they’re our legacy. #MolpusLegacyDay #Anniversary #Timberland #Forestry #Forests #LegacyOver100Years

Listen to Samuel. His advice can change your life

Many Forestry and Agriculture students don't know they can get global opportunities, including internships. As an undergraduate at the Department of Forestry, the Federal University of Technology Akure (FUTA), Samuel Fajana got an internship opportunity he completed at the IUFRO - International Union of Forest Research Organizations headquarters in Austria. I am sure you know that means a lot for a forestry student. As a Forester, I have also completed some professional online training under IUFRO. Thank you for sharing your unique story especially how Physiology transitioned to doing amazingly well with Forestry. I am sure everything we discussed will help the prospective students and undergraduates. Full video https://lnkd.in/etv7be5y #career talks #university #Agric-related courses #opportunity

An excellent opportunity to gain exposure and training in forestry!
The Professional Forester apprenticeship programme has re-opened 📣 It’s an opportunity for passionate individuals looking to kick start their careers in forestry, just like Matthew, a second-year apprentice. The paid, three-year development opportunity is jointly led by the Forestry Commission, the University of Cumbria and the Institute of Chartered Foresters.

What Do You Have to Offer? What are your experiences and how can they help our company? These are the questions we hear more often in job interviews nowadays. The focus is now shifting away from just our educational status to what we can actually do and the hands-on experiences we've had. It’s no longer enough to just list your degrees and certificates. Employers want to know about your real-world skills. They’re interested in how you've applied your knowledge, the problems you've solved, and the tangible results you've achieved. This shift makes perfect sense. After all, having a piece of paper doesn't always mean you’re prepared for the challenges of the job. Experience teaches you to think on your feet, adapt to changing situations, and come up with innovative solutions. It’s about going into the work, making mistakes, learning from them, and continuously improving. As a forester undergoing internship, I'm gaining invaluable hands-on experience and what it means to "Get my hands dirty" in my field. I’ve been involved in planting trees, understanding the intricate process of land clearing, and preparing the land for digging and pitting. These tasks have given me a deeper appreciation of the hard work and precision that goes into forest plantation and sustainable forestry. Special thanks to Johannes Mokwena, the forest manager at Rex Forestry for the incredible tour of the forest plantation and for taking his time to share his journey as a forester. Being able to see the other operations carried out and ask in-depth questions has been enlightening. This experience has clarified so many things for me and has renewed my dreams and aspirations in forestry. His journey also helped me realign my goals into becoming the practical forester I aim to become. #ExperienceOverCertification #ProfessionalGrowth #Forestry #Sustainability #HandsOnLearning

During my internship with the National Parks Board NBC, I had the opportunity to co-author a biodiversity record with my supervisor, Daniel Ng and fellow intern, Wayne Tan, on the mating behaviour of the Swamp forest crab 𝘗𝘢𝘳𝘢𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘭𝘱𝘩𝘶𝘴𝘢 𝘳𝘦𝘵𝘪𝘤𝘶𝘭𝘢𝘵𝘢. Listed in the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Red List as a Critically Endangered species, ex-situ species recovery efforts began in December 2018 for this endemic species. While an earlier paper by Ng et al. (2023) describes the species' life history and ecology, there were only brief details on its mating behaviour. Hence, this record is significant as it is a more detailed supplement that fills a knowledge gap and further boosts breeding efforts for the Swamp forest crab. #speciesrecovery #biodiversity #crab

🦐🎣 Fishery conservation🐟🐡 Healthy ecosystems are the foundation of human society and thriving economies. This couldn't be more true than it is for fishers, whose very livelihoods depend upon healthy sustainable fish stocks. It is therefore disappointing and often counterproductive that conservationists aiming to restore those very same fish stocks often find themselves at odds with fishing communities. Last year, then-intern Max Renton undertook a project to engage with Kent's inshore fishing communities to draw on their depth of knowledge to better understand their unique perspectives on the marine environment and its biggest threats. His findings together with ongoing collaboration with fishers will be instrumental in achieving Kent Wildlife Trust Group's aim to have 30% of our waters managed well for nature by 2030. Read the full blog post below! This research was undertaken as part of our annual Cost Explorer Internship, run in collaboration with The Crown Estate and Vattenfall. Follow us for more updates about our 2024 interns and the outcomes of their research projects! #coastexplorer #coastexplorerinternship #marineinternship #marineecology #fisheries #wilderkent #ecologycareers #conservationcareers #marinecareers

Two blogs in one day?! You lucky people. I am extremely grateful for the opportunities given to me this past year and feel I could write a whole chapter on my experience completing a Traineeship with Durham Wildlife Trust. Not wanting to take up too much of our social media team’s time with proof reading, however, I hope I’ve managed to get my point across in this short blog 📝 #DurhamWildlifeTrust #Traineeship #Conservation #UKConservation #Ecology

Do you know someone who is looking to become a leader in science? Learn more about ONresources | RichessesON six areas of science and research. more about aquatic, climate change, forest, natural heritage, species at risk and wildlife science opportunites. #womenInScience
At the Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry, #WomenInScience take on many different roles: collecting data in the field, analyzing and reporting on data, and strategizing how science can support natural resource decision making — in fact, some do all three! 👩🏻🔬🔬 Meet Jenn, manager of forest research and monitoring. Jenn started as an Ontario ranger and is celebrating 30 years since first starting with the ministry. 🌳 Her career in science has spanned from intern to technician, ecologist, specialist, coordinator, and now manager. We asked Jenn what advice she would give to women and girls striving to be leaders in science, and she said: • appreciate those around you who recognize something in you that you may not see yourself — grow to know those strengths. • try something that takes you out of your comfort zone for 6 months, then evaluate how it went. • make time for learning, especially from your peers. • take advantage of opportunities and say yes!

Associate Professor, University of Canterbury · Higher value forests through breeding and wood science
The best part of LinkedIn I joined LinkedIn less than a year ago and, overall, I like the posts from people I chose to follow and dislike most of the "suggested by the algorithm" motivational, HR, marketing, leadership, etc. posts. However, the best part, at least for me, is to see updates by our Forestry students. Looking at their new jobs, either in New Zealand or very far away. Pictures in the office, dealing with tree establishment, forest fires, forest management, processing, etc. It makes me happy to feel even tangentially connected to their new experiences outside the university. Cheers to all of them. #forestry
