 Return to: College of Agricultural Sciences and Natural Resources
The profession of forestry is the science, the art, and the practice of managing and using for human benefit the natural resources that occur on and in association with forest lands. Benefits are derived from the multiple resources of the forest – wood, water, wildlife, recreation, forage, and environmental amenities. Foresters are managers of these resources. Thus, our principal instructional objective is to provide the broad education needed to deal effectively with the complex of forest resources.

The forest resources management concentration provides an opportunity to obtain an education related to the management of the broad spectrum of wildland resources.

The Tennessee Valley Authority, Great Smoky Mountains National Park, and Cherokee National Forest provide additional land and facilities available to the teaching program. Contained within these areas is a wide variety of tree species and forest types ranging from elements of the boreal forest to southern pines and hardwoods.
Lumber, pulp and paper, and other wood-using industries cooperate in conducting tours and demonstrating industrial processes.
