Maine State Forester Elected President Of The National Assn. Of State Foresters
The Maine Department of Agriculture, Conservation and Forestry (DACF) proudly announces that Patty Cormier, Maine State Forester, has been elected President of the National Assn. of State Foresters (NASF). Cormier’s election marks a significant milestone, as she becomes the first Maine State Forester to hold this prestigious position since Austin Wilkins 59 years ago. Cormier will serve a one-year term as NASF President, continuing her long-standing commitment to sustainable forestry and forest management.
“This is a pivotal time for forest conservation, and I look forward to collaborating with state foresters from across the nation to elevate their voices and work with partners to find answers to challenges we all face,” says Cormier.
Cormier has served as Maine State Forester since 2019 and has over 20 years of experience as a Forester with the Maine Forest Service. Before working with the Maine Forest Service, she worked as a Landowner Assistance Forester for GP. She also holds a Bachelor of Science in Forest Management from the University of Maine at Orono and has been a strong advocate for forest fire prevention and management, serving on multiple forestry committees, including the National Fire Committee and the Northeast-Midwest State Foresters Assn. Fire Committee and the Cooperative Forest Fire Prevention committee.
The NASF is a non-profit organization representing forestry agency directors from all 50 states, the District of Columbia, and eight U.S. territories. The association promotes the sustainable management of state and private forests, which comprise two-thirds of the nation’s forested lands. Since its founding in 1920, NASF has worked to conserve and protect forest resources and advocate for sustainable forestry in rural and urban environments.
