Can someone help me on a definition of the word 'Skovvogter'?

It is listed as the title or occupation of a man in 1880 in Stor Elvdal.

Tusen takk,

John

John,
the first part "Skov" means forest and the "vogter" means guard or
watchkeeper. I'm better in Swedish, in which the corresponding word is
skogvaktare. My dictionary translates it as forester, gamekeeper, forest
keeper or (in American English) [forest]ranger. My father had a few
"skovvogters" (metsänvartija in Finnish) as his assistants in the
silviculture and supervision of his forestry district.

Hilsen fra Finland,
Seppo Niinioja
