Yes. The ecologists working in the Department dealing with forestry will stay working in that department. In the broader scheme of life, if a young person today is wondering about a career and had any interest in ecology, I would strongly suggest it because in the future, with all the regulations and everything coming down the road, if you had young, budding ecologist at home, I would send them away to college and tell them you will never see a hungry day.
