This course explores a number of important forest management topics including the concept of sustainable forest management, forest economics, environmental impact assessment (EIA) and forest health.
Students learn about the long history of sustainable forest management – it’s not just a modern idea! – and how forest management plans are developed.
Two visits to different forests help you recognise forest management issues in the field. One visit is hosted by the Regional Manager and the Senior Ecologist of a major forest management company which gives you the opportunity to discuss issues with professional practitioners.
