Benjamin Fromm

Stevens Point,WI

Summary

I have 3.5 years of forestry experience with a proven and reliable ability to set up and conduct timber sales and forest inventory. I've worked with loggers and landowners to achieve silvicultural goals on dynamic sites. While gaining this experience at Bell Timber, I've studied Forest Management at UWSP, and I'm currently a senior. This education along with my timber industry experience has allowed me to immediately utilize my knowledge and create a strong background. I take pride in my job and have been fortunate to work on both public and private land in Oconto County.
