BSF Forest Resources Management

The Forest Resources Management Program prepares students for an active role in the management of forests. The curriculum emphasizes the management of land for production of timber and wood products with consideration given to other forest values such as wildlife habitat, recreational opportunities and water quality. Students gain a clear understanding of how social and economic goals can be met while maintaining the long-term productivity of forested lands. Accredited by the Society of American Foresters, this is one of the few baccalaureate programs in the nation that emphasizes the management of Appalachian hardwood forests
