Course Description

Program Description As part of the Faculty of Natural Resource Management, our Forestry program will provide you with a background in the biological, social and operational fundamentals of forestry and its relationship to our ecosystems. You will gain the business skills, scientific expertise and practical experience needed to solve modern conservation and sustainability challenges. Our Honours Bachelor of Science in Forestry shares a common curriculum with the Honours Bachelor of Environmental Management for the first two years, exposing you to various topics including: Climate change mitigation Wildlife habitat management Water/forest interactions Natural resources policy Geographical information systems First Nations forestry This well-rounded approach to our program allows you to develop your interests before specializing in one of three areas in Forestry after your second year: Forest Management Forest Health and Protection Wood Science While each specialization focuses on different subjects, they all seek to understand and maintain the natural integrity of our forests. We also offer a Co-Operative Education program if you are interested in gaining experience that surpasses typical fieldwork and research opportunities. NOTE: Almost all Lakehead University programs are designed with courses that require successful completion of a a Fall session prerequisite course. As a result, students who choose to begin their academic studies in the Winter session will find the course selection extremely limited and will be restricted to attending on a part-time basis until the following Fall academic session. Most study permits require that the applicant is a full-time student. Because of this, It is recommended that students apply for a September start.
