These projects may include activities such as thinning forest stands, pruning, plot assessments, trail building for recreational use, and forest stand management planning. An example of one of the projects which the 1997 class completed can be found under uniform spacing and thinning study. All students are required to participate in this part of the program. These classes are directly related to the topics which the students encounter in the forestry field trips, forestry texts, student presentations, student written assignments, and practical work experience at the forest. Classroom time is also used as a time for students to compare and contrast forestry issues from their home countries.
Computers are available for writing papers and developing presentation materials.
Digital cameras are used to photograph specimens on field trips. These images are used to illustrate written reports and oral presentations.
