As part of the Faculty of Natural Resources Management, the Forestry program will provide students with a background in the biological, social and operational fundamentals of forestry and its relationship to the ecosystems.
Students will gain the business skills, scientific expertise and practical experience needed to solve modern conservation and sustainability challenges.
Lakehead University’s Honours Bachelor of Science in Forestry shares a common curriculum with the Honours Bachelor of Science in Environmental Management for the first two years. Through a specialization, students will delve deeper into the areas of Forest Management, Forest Health and Protection, or the emerging area of Forest Products and Marketing.
Students will be exposed to the high-tech world of modern forest management through the use of GPS/GIS technologies, 3-D visualization, remote sensing with satellite imagery and airborne systems including drone (UAV) technology, and genetic research.
Lakehead University’s are nationally accredited by the Canadian Forestry Accreditation Board, meaning students will meet the academic requirements of membership for a number of professional forest associations across Canada. Upon graduation, students will be eligible to receive their Registered Professional Forester (RPD) designation and become a member of the Canadian Institute of Forestry. This feature is unique to Lakehead University and provides students with an impressive professional advantage.
