Friedrich Wilhelm Leopold Pfeil

Friedrich Wilhelm Leopold Pfeil (28 March 1783 – 4 September 1859) was a German forester.

From 1801 onward, he trained and worked as a forester at several sites in the Harz region, Neuchâtel and Silesia.

From 1816 he was employed as a forester in the service of Heinrich Karl Erdmann, prince of Carolath-Beuthen.

In 1830 when the department of forestry was relocated to Eberswalde, he was named its director, a position he maintained up until his retirement in 1859.

From 1863 to 2005 the "Wilhelm-Leopold-Pfeil-Preis" was awarded for contributions made towards future forest management in Europe.
