As a recognized student chapter of the Society of American Foresters, the Texas A&M Chapter seeks to incorporate professional and academic development aspects of SAF with the traditions and camaraderie for which Aggies are known. Students involved with SAF gain experience and professional advantage through interactions with state and local professional chapters, University and departmental events, national recognition and service, as well as through academic support from peers and professors. Any student interested in seeking a degree or career in forestry, as well as professionals currently employed in a forestry-related field, are welcome at meetings of the TAMU SAF chapter.
