The Commonwealth Forestry Association (CFA) is pleased to announce the launch of the Young Forester Award 2012.
Applications for the Young Forester Award are invited from students and young professionals below the age of 35 years on 30 June 2012 who are nationals of Commonwealth countries. Please note that as part of the CFA’s continuing support to Small Island Developing States (SIDS), for the 2012 Young Forester Award we particularly encourage applications from foresters from SIDS within the Commonwealth. In addition we encourage applications from women, those with disabilities, and nationals of developing countries.
Anyone who wishes to apply for the Young Forester Award should complete the Application Form (download here). The Selection Committee will discuss placement options with short-listed applicants who will then be asked to write up to 500 words on what they want to achieve on the placement. Applications should be sent via email to cfa@cfa-international.org
The closing date for applications is 30th April 2012.
PLEASE NOTE: The Young Forester Award is restricted to CFA members (applicants must have taken out an individual membership to qualify for application, i.e. membership via subscribing organisations or national forestry associations does not entitle application for the YFA).
