The School of Forestry takes pride in its faculty. In addition to a wealth of academic knowledge, the faculty have extensive professional working experience. Professional degrees from more than thirty-five colleges and universities are represented by the faculty. Collectively, they have held positions with universities, state and federal governments, varied domestic and foreign industries, international organizations, and private interest groups. This wide knowledge and experience is uniquely available to the student with an innovative team-teaching approach by our faculty.
