As our human population continues to increase, forests and other natural resources are valued more for the serenity they provide, the organisms they support, and the products they produce.
The faculty and staff of the School of Forest Resources and Environmental Science are committed to educating students to create the future in the fields of forestry, forest ecology and management, applied ecology and environmental sciences, wildlife ecology and management, and molecular genetics and biotechnology. All of our degree programs heavily emphasize field and lab techniques, geographic information systems, and, computer and quantitative skills. We excel at bringing all our students together to work as a team in our complex natural world to answer the needs of society.

The use of remote sensing and geographic information system (GIS) technologies allows us, as resource managers, to make timely, efficient and cost-effective decisions. Additionally, we can conduct unique and otherwise infeasible, analytic tasks. Whether it is looking backward and trying to reconstruct historical vegetation landscapes or looking forward to determine where . . .

One my most rewarding moments while conducting research occurs when I begin to see how two seemingly unrelated components of the environment affect one another. My research focuses on improving our knowledge of how biotic and abiotic components of an ecosystem interact to affect the exchange of matter and energy . . .
