Field Methods in Forest Conservation

A practical introduction to the field methods used by forest conservationists in Ontario. The overnight field camp portion is approximately seven days taking place during August. Field exercises will provide students with practical training in tree identification, forest ecosystem classification, forest inventory, stand management prescriptions, tree marking, and silvicultural systems. Each student is required to pay an ancillary fee of approximately $1198 to cover the costs of transportation, food, accommodation, lab and field trip equipment rentals, and site support fees. Interested students should contact the Forestry Program Administrator to register. Later registrations will be considered if class size permits.
