Providing guidance to students concerning their broad university education, employment opportunities, and personal and professional development. Extending the knowledge about forestry and natural resources to state-wide, regional, national, and international audiences through research, scholarship, service, Extension, and outreach education. Brief Description of Forest Resources Interests Forest Resources degree programs are focused on integration of the multiple-use dimensions of the forest resources. The management of forest resources in the future will increasingly rely on broad, multidisciplinary knowledge. Our departmental philosophy is to provide a rigorous, diversified educational environment that fosters the development of citizens and professionals cognizant of the broad spectrum of forest resource values and their stewardship.
Emphasis is placed on both academic achievement and practical experience.
In conjunction with other College and University departments, the Pacific Northwest Research Station of the U.S.D.A. Forest Service, the U.S.D.I. Geological Survey, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, and other public and private research organizations, we provide the research base for forest-related issues and opportunities in Oregon. Although focused on Oregon, much of our research involves projects of regional, national, and international scope. As a leading institution in the study of forest resources, it is imperative that we maintain a global perspective and contribute to improvements in forest resource stewardship on a world-wide scale.
