Members of the Institute of Chartered Foresters (ICF) are being canvassed about whether the organisation should merge with the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors.

Full details of the proposal have been sent out and it is proposed to hold 11 regional discussion meetings across the country between now and April.

In April there will be a postal poll of members to gauge opinion, following which the IFC’s council will decide whether to put a resolution for change to members at the AGM in June.

Details of the proposal can be found at www.charteredforesters.org.
