Turn your passion into professional qualifications. March 15 is the application deadline for our Master of Sustainable Forest Management program https://t.co/j6peEJzIrm #RPF#ubc#ubcforestry
Last week the MSFM class took a trip out to North Vancouver for some forest learning on the relationships between mycorrhizal networks, forest complexity, and ecosystem-based management from the director of the program, Dr. Suzanne Simard.
Heading back to Vancouver, after a 1-week immersed in the forests of Nelson. Students were exposed to a variety of subjects such as ecosystem classification, harvesting and milling procedures, and the community forest model among others. Special thanks to all the guest speakers!
The 2018/19 MSFM program is underway! Aspiring foresters began with 1-week at UBC learning about forest health, processes, measurement methods, and management strategies among other forestry skills.
Past MSFM students meeting up at the Kootenay Wildfire and Climate Change Conference that's being held in Nelson BC! Featuring: Enrico Fionda (2013), Deb Delong (timeless), Jessica Duncan (2016), Martina Hola (2014), Julius Huhs (2016) and Peter Flett (2017).
Students in the Stand Dynamics class had the chance to play Stephen Mitchell's Silva-couture game today! This game is a fun way to demonstrate the aspects of different harvesting systems; Hasbro Games might want to look at adopting it soon!
MSFM students have recently finished field trips for their 558 landscape level projects! 10 of our students were on Texada Island, while the other 15 vicisted Nelson.
These are busy times for the MSFM class! The group has just a few days before they present their Site Plans for two blocks in UBC's Malcolm Knapp Research Forest. After that, it's exam period!
