Program Details

The Woodland Ecology and Conservation (With Sandwich Year)(Hons) programme at University of Cumbria has been designed to prepare you to be a new kind of graduate, one that the world desperately needs to meet the challenges of the 21st century. This degree will provide you with the ecological knowledge that underpins modern sustainable forest management.
