Natural Resources - Learning Outcomes
Students who graduate with a Natural Resources degree from OSU should be able to integrate technical “field” knowledge with analytical skills to solve important natural resource management problems. They should be able to communicate effectively, work collaboratively, assess their professional strengths and weaknesses, and be committed to continuous learning and professional development.
Specifically, they should be able to:
Biochar production can create an effective link between forest restoration operations and commercial agriculture in the Upper Klamath Basin
Go Big or Go Home?, a project of the Institute for Working Landscapes in the Oregon Forest Research Laboratory and the U.S.
Thank you so much to Terralyn Vandetta and Jessica Fitzmorris, co-chairs of the CoF Food Drive Committee and everyone else who served on the committee or took part in one of our fundraisers!
The 2019 Starker Lecture Series is titled Tribal Forestry: From Reservation to Restoration. Join us for a lecture!
Iain Macdonald has been selected as director of the TallWood Design Institute (TDI), a unique research collaboration between the Oregon State University College of Forestry, College of Engineering, and the University of Oregon School of Design.
Founded by OSU forestry professor T. J. Starker in 1936, Starker Forests now holds more than 87,000 acres of timberland in five Western Oregon counties, and Blanchard has lived through much of the company’s history.
Assistant professor Ben Leshchinsky and collaborators report unstable slopes on Oregon’s coastline could see a 30 percent jump in landslide movements if extreme storms become frequent enough to increase seacliff erosion by 10 percent.
College of Forestry courtesy faculty member Steven Perakis is lead author of a study that finds red alder trees play a key role in healthy forest ecosystems by tapping nutrients from bedrock.
