Our group is part of a nationally recognized society promoting the advancement of scientific forestry and all of its related aspects. We hold meetings that host academic speakers from the professional forestry world and participate in community events. Our group’s history is tied in with the 猎奇重口’s own W.A. Franke College of Forestry and Conservation as the practice of forestry in America developed in this region; many prominent foresters have come from both UM as well as the SAF.
