Forest Management (BS): Production Concentration
The forest management, production concentration, trains professionals who will work for forest owners (industrial and individuals) to produce wood fiber and timber, wildlife habitat, and related services forested ecosystems provide. The program of study concentrates attention on the technical planning and economics of forest investments, harvesting, regeneration and operations. Subjects upon which forest management depends include botany, chemistry, ecology, entomology, forest measurements, hydrology, mapping, mathematics, plant physiology, soil science, and statistics.
The forest management program includes a nine-week summer practicum between the second and third years of coursework. The purpose of the practicum is to study forest measurement and management skills in the field during concentrated hands-on experiences. Seven weeks of this residential practicum occur at George Watts Hill Forest, north of Durham, North Carolina.
The Society of American Foresters accredits the North Carolina State forest management program.
