Karl VonBerg joined the Watershed Agricultural Council's Forestry Program in August 2008. As a Watershed Forester in the Hamden office, Karl helps loggers and landowners with forest management that promotes sediment and erosion control thus helping sustain the protection of water quality. What Karl likes most about his job is working one-on-one with with loggers and seeing the positive impact this teamwork can have on water quality.

Karl holds a B.S. in Forest Science from the University of Vermont and an M.S. in Natural Resources from Cornell University. He brings a diverse background together as a WAC forester, having previously worked as a naturalist/educator, a Christmas tree farm manager, a forestry consultant and a procurement forester overseeing harvest operations and private landowner woodland management. When he's not at work, Karl lives in, and works on, an old rambling farm house and grows Christmas trees. Karl's Perspective: I like helping people see their role in water quality control and forest management, and getting them to utilize methods to promote good water quality and forest management.
