The Society of American Foresters (SAF) is the national scientific and educational organization representing the forestry profession in the United States. Founded in 1900 by Gifford Pinchot, it is the largest professional society for foresters in the world. We are a nonprofit organization. SAF members include natural resource professionals in public and private settings, researchers, CEOs, administrators, educators, and students.The Intermountain SAF is a part of the Society of American Foresters and includes over 200 members that reside in Utah, Nevada, southern Idaho, and western Wyoming. There are three Chapters and two student Chapters in the Intermountain Society: Nevada, Utah, and Snake River (southern Idaho and northwest Wyoming), and Utah State University Student and University of Nevada-Reno Student Chapters.
SAF members commit to a Code of Ethics. The Code purpose is to protect and serve society by inspiring, guiding, and governing members in the conduct of their professional lives. Compliance with the code demonstrates members' respect for the land and their commitment to the long-term management of ecosystems, and ensures just and honorable professional and human relationships, mutual confidence and respect, and competent service to society.
