On September 13, 1957 at 8:22 PM, Governor Jim Folsom of the State of Alabama signed into law Act No.533 of the 1957 Alabama Legislature, authorizing the establishment of the
Alabama Board of Registration for Foresters (ABRF). As we begin the fourth decade of service by the Board of Registration for the people of the State of Alabama, they are reasonably assured
that those who are licensed and would practice forestry in the State of Alabama, have the knowledge, experience, and education.
