Abstract: The New Zealand Institute of Forestry (NZIF) elected three new NZIF Fellows at its AGM in Auckland earlier this month. The three are Mr James (Jim) Carle, Rome, Mr Jeremy Christmas, Rotorua and Mr Dennys Guild, Christchurch. “To be elected as a Fellow of NZIF recognises that the member has achieved eminence in the forestry profession in the eyes of the member’s peers,” said NZIF President, Dr Andrew McEwen. “It is the highest honour available to an Institute member,” he added. Before a member can be nominated for consideration as a Fellow, they must have had at least 15 years’ experience in the practice, administration or teaching of, or research in, some branch of forestry, of which at least five years must have been in New Zealand. The Institute now has 44 Fellows each of whom is entitled to use the initials FNZIF after their name.
