From tree farm to forest farm - forestry consultant Henry Kernan - includes related article - Private Forests

American Forests, March-April, 1994 by Henry Kernan

Forestry consultant and small-forest owner Henry Kernan has spent his career specializing in the use, conservation, and development of forest and renewable natural resources in underdeveloped countries. A former American Forests staffer, he was offered an editorial job after writing an article about his experiences hunting for cinchona in Colombia in the 1940s.

A few months in Washington left Kernan longing for the outdoors, though, and he switched to the association's Forest Survey Project. His consulting work has taken him from Sierra Leone to Jamaica. Kernan also pens articles for a local newspaper and conducts woods walks on his land.
