Overview

The Ecology and Environmental Sciences- Ecosystem Ecology Concentration - Forest Ecology track outlines a programme that will make students highly competitive for graduate studies in such areas as forest ecology, silviculture, forest health, or tree physiology.

The Forest Ecology track is a partner to the long established Forestry degree from The University of Maine . While the Forestry programme focuses on the management of forests, the Forest Ecology track in EES emphasizes the biology and conservation of forest ecosystems from the molecular to the biosphere level.

Other programme options include the declaration of academic minors in such areas as biology, botany, environmental management & policy, fisheries, forest products, forest recreation management, geological sciences, plant science, soil science, surveying, or zoology.

Career enhancement

We encourage EES students to work with faculty and graduate students on research projects including: Old-growth forests, silviculture, ecosystem management, forest health, climate change, tissue culture, tree biology, and other challenging projects. College and University funds are available for travel to meetings and for student projects.
