Mississippi Administrative Code
Title 30 - Professions and Occupations
Part 1001 - Rules and Regulations of the Mississippi Board of Registration for Foresters

Foreword

These Rules and Regulations shall be binding upon every person holding a Registered Foresters license and on all persons, firms, partnerships or corporations, or other legal entities that practice forestry in the State of Mississippi. Each licensee is charged with having knowledge of the existence of the Rules and Regulations and the Code of Ethics and shall be deemed to be familiar with its several provisions and to understand them. No person may practice forestry in Mississippi without first being registered or licensed to do so. Any person who offers to practice forestry in the State without first being registered and licensed to do so must cease and desist immediately until such time that person meets the requirements of the Laws of Mississippi, these Rules and Regulations, and the Code of Ethics. A Registered Forester will not be allowed to Sponsor an unlicensed individual to practice forestry in the State of Mississippi. It is the understanding and position of the Board of Registration for Foresters, based upon the Law, these Rules and Regulations, and the Code of Ethics, that no individual offers to perform work or offers services free of charge and/or without some form of compensation whether direct or indirect, and therefore offering services without compensation is not a legitimate exemption for the practice of forestry by an unlicensed or a licensed individual.
