Certified Federal Surveyor
Robert W. “Cotton” Green and Kevin Gregory, both Registered Professional Land Surveyors in Arkansas and Missouri, are part of a small group of professional land surveyors nationwide to become Certified Federal Surveyors (CFedS).
This certification is a significant addition to the resume and credentials of the private professional land surveyor. The CFedS program, which has been approved by the U.S. Secretary of the Interior, was designed specifically to enhance the level of knowledge and expertise in the professional land surveying community for survey work performed on federal lands and especially on Indian trust lands.
To earn the CFedS designation, professional land surveyors must complete approximately 120 hours of course materials prepared by the BLM’s National Training Center, in Phoenix, Arizona, and pass the certification examination. To maintain the certification, a CFedS must complete 10 hours of continuing education annually.
