Forest management is a very important field of study. These individuals do not just learn how to plant trees, as you seem to think that this is their only skill since you don't see their skill set as being unique. In fact someone in forest management has to be able to understand the diseases and insects that can harm trees, the ecosystem of a forest as homogenous tree stands are not nearly as healthy. Plus they have to understand soil types, rainfall regimes, silviculture, and how all of these factors fit into the larger scope of the forest ecosystem. If they are working in conjunction with farming (agroforestry) then they also have to understand the trees relationship with horticultural plants and how different species work symbiotically with each other or else make sure that at the very least that the trees and horticulture is not working negatively against one another. This is particularly important in Rural development projects, because it is usually in these developing nations where forest exploitation can be particularly detrimental, so for a forestry expert to teach rural farmers on the value of trees is invaluable to these farmers economic standing as well as for the climate on the micro scale and the global environment on the macro scale. A forestry expert in the right place with the right know-how has a tremendous amount of unique and positive skills that they can "do" for the betterment of ALL societies and the world as a whole!

Foresters are educated and trained in forest management.
They asses the forest(s) for continuity, harvesting, diseases, blights, density, risk of disasters (fires, floodings, dead trees - falling hazards, etc) and renewal.
Many newly trained forresters are trained in fire prevention and spread. They have learned so called new techniques from the N.A Natives.
The native people of North America who lived in the forrests would start fires in the underbrush if there was too long of a period since one started by natural means. This burned much of the dead, thick under growth. The dead, thick under growth is one of the main reasons there are so many devesting wild fires. Most forrest would not get to that stage without the dead, thick under growth.
If there is too sparse tree growth, a forrester will recommend planting more trees in that area to prevent flash flooding.
If an area of the forest is too dense or has too many dead trees, the forest will recoment cutting the deadwood and thinning the very dense areas. This allows air circulation which helps to keep the trees healthy (free of disease and blights).
They also recommend areas to be re-forrested. this assures a supply of timber for the future and helps in flood control and preventing soil errosion.
Good Luck
