These are just but a few companies where you can get employed. But I would like to tell you one thing: in Kenya, jobs related to forestry are few, which result to high unemployment rate among forestry graduates.So,for you to be more marketable, you have to pursue at least a Masters degree in Forestry-a PhD is ideal because you will seek opportunities in our local universities as a lecturer.

Alternatively, you can be self-employed. In this regard, farming is the best option.
