Overview

The Urban and Community Forestry program offered by University of Wisconsin - Stevens Point is designed to ensure you are ready for a job after graduation. Our program adds flexibility to help meet your professional objectives by selecting collateral courses and specialized training. Set a path towards becoming a Certified Arborist with skill sets you gain as a student and professional work experience after graduation.

Key Facts

Various opportunities are available to expand your skillset outside the classroom, including extensive hands-on training courses in tree felling and tree climbing and a certificate course in pesticide application. You must also participate in one summer of an advisor-approved forestry internship or employment. Typically students do this between their junior and senior years.

You will gain additional hands-on experiences in all areas of natural resource management during a required summer field experience generally taken between your sophomore and junior years. You can choose between our six-week, hands-on summer field experience held at our Treehaven field station or on-campus, or take part in our European Environmental Seminar and learn how European natural resource management compares to the United States.
