Master of Forest Ecosystem Science
Forests play a diverse and critical role in sustaining human and other biological communities at a local and global scale. Forests provide wildlife habitat and biodiversity conservation, timber production for high-value products, clean water and other ecosystem services – and they play a central role in mitigating rapid climate change.
Forest scientists are essential for the maintenance and improvement of forests for these and other values including the profitable management of the forest and natural resource sectors of the economy.
