The knowledge of nature
The University of Alberta’s Department of Renewable Resources is focused on
understanding and managing landscapes and the associated resources. We are
unique in the range and depth of our interdisciplinary interests and skills. We
have strong connections with land and natural resource managers, and are active
partners in numerous research networks and organizations. Field work is
essential to our teaching, research, and community service activities. We

facilities, industrial locations and remote field sites. The department offers
BSc programs in Environmental and Conservation Sciences, Forestry, and Forest
Business Management. Check out our website for information on our research and
graduate program.
