Forestry

Here you will find library and internet resources for research on topics and issues in Forestry and natural resources.

Forestry

Forestry is the science of managing forested lands. This can include the waters (rivers, streams, etc.) that occur in forested lands, wildlife, and human activities. Forestry can have a commercial orientation that focuses on forest maintenance for-profit use or it can be based on conservation and ecological principles that are focused on preservation of wildlife and future generations. Some forestry endeavors try to integrate both approaches. The concepts of forestry are ancient with some of the oldest known managed forests dating back to the ancient Romans (Encyclopedia Britannica, 2020).

Did your instructor require you to cite your sources for an assignment? Did they say you had to use MLA, APA, or Chicago formatting for your paper? If so, the library can help you. Always ask your instructor what citation style should be used for research projects. See below for links to helpful resources.
