UC Berkeley Forestry Field Camp
Description:
The overall goal of the summer field program is to serve as an introduction to natural resource management as a field of scientific and professional work. Students in the program study the ecology of the Sierra Nevada, apply environmental monitoring and measurement techniques, and explore first-hand the management of forests, watersheds, and firesheds. By participating in the program students acquire a broad working knowledge of the concepts and techniques which foresters, land managers and environmental scientists use in their work. Studying these subjects in a field setting is the best way to learn about the ecology and management of forest and grassland ecosystems.
