to provide students with the theoretical knowledge and the technical skills needed
for entry-level employment in a variety of forestry-related fields and to prepare
students for continued study leading to a more advanced degree. With an interdisciplinary
program of study and field-based learning experiences, students will gain an understanding
of forestry principles while also developing the scientific skills required in the
profession.
Students are encouraged to speak with a LTCC counselor and review the stackable degrees and certificates before registering for Forestry classes:
