Bernhard Eduard Fernow (/ˈfɜːrnaʊ/ FUR-now; January 7, 1851 – February 6, 1923) was the third chief of the USDA's Division of Forestry of the United States from 1886 to 1898, preceding Gifford Pinchot in that position, and laying much of the groundwork for the establishment of the United States Forest Service in 1905. Fernow's philosophy toward forest management may be traced to Heinrich Cotta's preface to Anweisung zum Waldbau (Instruction in Silviculture) or Linnaeus' ideas on the "economy of nature." Fernow has been called the "father of professional forestry in the United States."

  • Bernhard Eduard Fernow, född 7 januari 1851 i Hohensalza, provinsen Posen, död 6 februari 1923 i Toronto, var en tysk-amerikansk skogsman. Fernow fick skoglig utbildning i Tyskland och flyttade 1876 över till USA, där han 1886 blev chef för skogsavdelningen i jordbruksdepartementet. Under hans chefskap avsattes stora områden "public lands" i västra delarna av USA som kronoparker. Åren 1898-1903 var han rektor för skogsavdelningen vid Cornell University i Ithaca. År 1906 organiserade han ett särskilt skogsdepartement i Pennsylvania, och 1909-20 var han professor i skogsskötsel vid University of Toronto. (sv)
