Sustainable Forestry and Environmental Practices is offered as a 5-week, 15-unit field-based course during the Summer Quarter.

This course is required for students in the Forest Resources Management concentration, but other students studying different aspects of natural resources management will benefit greatly by this course.

"This class is exactly what Al Smith would have wanted." Eric Huff, Executive Officer Forest, BOF

The course presents a series of topics pertinent to the development and review of timber harvest plans. This includes a number of topics devoted to timber harvesting practices, as well as those related to environmental and cultural protection.

The course is delivered by leading resource management professionals, who contribute their on-the-ground perspectives regarding effective and informed land management.

Many students do a concurrent internship, remaining at the Ranch for the remainder of the Summer and finish with over 20 units of credit toward their degrees.
