Forestry, BAgrSc (Hons)

Forestry is the science, art and profession of managing forests. Foresters manage forests to provide a variety of outputs including timber, recreation, conservation and aesthetics. The protection and enhancement of biodiversity, soils and water quality are all highly relevant in the creation and management of forests. Carbon sequestration, renewable energy resources, multifunctional forestry, wildlife management, bio-complexity, sustainable forest management, social and urban forestry, adaptation for and mitigation of climate change, and the conservation of genetic resources are all aspects of modern forest management. Foresters employ the latest technology in geographic information system (GIS) mapping and forest growth modelling to support good management and sustainable practice.
