Faculty
The Forest and Natural Resources Management program is one of the largest programs of its type in the United States, with over 30 full-time faculty supported by several adjunct professors and visiting instructors. Faculty interests range from watershed management to policy analysis, from geographic information systems to silviculture, from forest ecology to recreation management.
