One of Maine's most important resources is our vast forests, and a lot of effort goes into managing that resource sustainably. As a renewable resource, it's crucial to balance harvesting needs for timber with the long-term health of the forest. UMFK's Bachelor of Science in Forest Management can position you with the experience that both the timber industry and conservation organizations are looking for as they navigate this landscape.
