CSU names Mike Lester new State Forester

As state forester, Lester will lead the CSFS to provide for the protection of Colorado’s forest resources; ensure forestry education, outreach and technical assistance to private landowners; and carry out the duties of the Division of Forestry within the Colorado Department of Natural Resources.

Lester gave the keynote speech at this year's National Tree Farm Leadership Conference in Philadelphia last month, and was kind enough to spend some time talking to the Colorado contingent at that event. He has been a Tree Farm inspector.
