The Forest Science Specialization endeavors to educate the next generation of researchers, scientists, and managers of forest resources. Forest Science encompasses a diverse range of topics including forest ecosystems and sustainable forestry through interactions with foresters, ecologists, hydrologists, and social scientists.
The SENR forestry faculty explore issues related to ecosystems and wood products in both rural and urban settings. Research focusing on the interaction between social systems and the forest ecosystem will develop innovative approaches to protect the ecosystem and the services provided by the ecosystem.
