The School of Forestry was initiated in the Fall of 1958, with the hiring of its first faculty member and its founding dean - Dr. Charles O. Minor. Six students enrolled in the forestry program that first semester. From those humble beginnings, the School of Forestry has evolved into what it is today, which is a program that is nationally renowned for its unique approach to undergraduate education, for the strength and quality of its graduate education, for its highly productive research endeavors and, increasingly, for its innovative outreach and environmental education programs.

We will be celebrating the 50-year history of the school in a number of ways, beginning in April 2008 and ending in May 2009. This site will be periodically updated with information on 50th Anniversary events and other features. We encourage you to get involved by sending us photos and other information, some of which we will post on this site.
