The Forestry Ecology and Management degree introduces you to contemporary knowledge and techniques drawn from various disciplines in the natural and social sciences. 

Through study and active learning experiences, you'll obtain a consistent and broad background in coursework that encompasses foundational and integrative forestry management topics.

Forestry education and research at UNBC involves experiential learning at two research forests—the 10,000-hectare Aleza Lake Research Forest near Prince George and the 13,000-hectare John Prince Research Forest near Fort St. James.

The Forest Ecology and Management degree provides students with a thorough understanding of the science, philosophy, and practice of managing forested ecosystems. 

Given the range of knowledge and expertise needed to effectively manage forested ecosystems, students are then allowed to select a minor and pursue a specialization consistent with the overall objectives of the degree.  

The degree is designed to expose students to contemporary knowledge and techniques drawn from various disciplines in the natural and social sciences.

Learning Environment

The location of UNBC in northern British Columbia provides strong linkages with natural resources, industry, and resource-dependent communities. Opportunities for outdoor recreation and field research abound in this region. 

The main campus, situated in the forest above Prince George, is an ideal location for conducting outdoor labs.
