Abstract	Consulting forestry is an attractive professional specialization and expanding employment opportunities have made it a popular option for forestry students. Association of Consulting Foresters members were asked to rank the importance of the traditional forestry and other courses in the standard accredited forestry curriculum, where additional emphasis was needed, and where specialization should occur. Additional emphasis was recommended in communications skills, financial areas, and technical foundations. Business administration was strongly recommended for a specialization area. Communication skills (technical writing and public speaking) stood out as the primary educational need for additional emphasis. (Contains 2 figures and 3 tables.) (Author).
