Department of Forest Sciences 
Our curriculum illustrates the standard principles of natural resources managament
applicable to a forested landscape anywhere in the world. We pay particular
attention to boreal forest systems and conditions unique to the circumpolar
north. Our research focuses on developing environmentally sound methods
to diversify local and state economies by producing sustainable, high
yields of quality wood products. Our seven faculty foster healthy debate,
interchange of ideas, and problem solving in teaching, research, and outreach
programs that incorporate fieldwork and trips, internships with management
and research organizations, and studies at Long-Term Ecological Research
network sites. We offer graduate and undergraduate degrees in Natural
Resources Management with an emphasis in forest sciences, preparing students
to work as professional foresters. Our programs are accredited by the
Society of American Foresters.
