About us


Students who join our Forestry, Ecology, and Wildlife Program (FEWP) will discover a family of professors, staff, and students who are willing to spend time in and outside of the classroom helping them prepare for an exciting career contributing to the conservation and management of forests and natural resources. FEWP strives for excellence in forestry education, research, and service to the public. Our forestry program is nationally accredited and a Center of Excellence with the USDA Forest Service.

Our faculty are involved in active research in the field of forestry, submitting multiple research proposals to organizations such as the NSF and USDA. We’re also the home of the FireDawgs, a student-led forest fire fighting team. They’ve been mobilized for wild fires, rescues, and to perform prescribed burns.
