The Forestry Management Associate of Science degree will increase the opportunity for students to learn strategies and develop skills to protect and repair ecosystems after disturbances including factors such as fire, climate, pollution and drought. This degree will enable students to enhance their understanding of Wildland Fire Prevention, Forest Health, Forest Ecology, Dendrology, and Climate Change as well as enriching understanding of Forest Management with introductory concepts of local California Indigenous Natural Resource stewardship. Concepts and practices learned from this area of study can help decrease the spread and intensity of wildfires thus decreasing destruction of large ecosystems and protecting these areas and the people that inhabit these areas.
Total Units for the Associate in Science Degree: 60 units.
