Spanish term

Forestal, especialidad en Explotaciones Forestales

Spanish to English Other Education / Pedagogy Degree titles
This is supposedly a degree title, like my other question, and is given in contrast to "Forestal, especialidad en Industrias Forestales". "Forestal" I was just going to translate as Forestry, and in the second case I think "Forestry Industry" or "Forest Industry" would work. For the former, does "Forest Management" work? If not, any other ideas would be welcome!

Definitely not "engineering"!
Wendy Streitparth Nov 10, 2010:
Yes, IMHO Forest Management is the precise term; forest industries also.
HugoSteckel (asker) Nov 10, 2010:
Forest Engineering, specialising in Forestry and Forest Engineering, specialising in Forest Management?

forest ranger, forest official, forester, woodsman

any of the above titles ought to do (whereby forest ranger is probably the one most used in the US). As to your "forrestry industry" (really a separate question by Proz rules) "forestry" alone would suffice or otherwhise you might like silviculture.

Forest Management

My husband has a degree in Forest Management. In Spanish it sounds like two things: 1. Forestal, 2. especialidad en Explotaciones Forestales, but in English they just call it "Forest Management".
