Growing the Family Legacy of Michigan Tech Foresters
Like rings on a tree, the evolution of Michigan Tech's College of Forest Resources and Environmental Science is a tale of growth, with each year's record building on the accomplishments that came before it. Rog Hoeksema '72 and his grandson Nate Koetje '25 have experienced and contributed to the milestones that tell the College's story. They are both Tech forestry alumni, bound by family ties and their love of the natural world. More than half a century separates their experiences at Tech, offering a view of how the College has grown—from sturdy roots that form the foundation of Husky forester careers, to branches of innovation reaching the cusp of forestry technology.
On the cover: Seasons of all kinds define our work, whether we’re collecting insects, hiking through snow to harvest maple sap, or building on a legacy of innovation to embrace a rapidly evolving industry. Celebrate the heritage, the exciting work at hand, and the Huskies shaping a better tomorrow.
