Why join the school of forest resources?
UMaine’s School of Forest Resources (SFR) is the place for students who want to turn their passion for forests and the environment into meaningful, real-world impact. Our programs combine strong scientific foundations with hands-on, field-based learning in Maine’s diverse forest landscapes—preparing students to address today’s challenges in sustainability, conservation, and natural-resource management. With engaged faculty, cutting-edge research, and strong connections to industry, government, and conservation partners, SFR students graduate ready to lead and succeed in a wide range of natural-resource careers.
Beyond academics and hands-on learning, the School of Forest Resources is committed to fostering a community where all students feel welcomed, supported, and valued. To learn more, click below.
