EP20 | Dr. Roy Rea & Dexter Hodder on Forestry Field School and John Prince Reserch Forest

From trying everything I could to get out of the Forestry Field School at UNBC to recommending it to all forestry students, NREM333 is one of my favourite courses I've ever taken at UNBC. What makes this course unforgettable isn't just the field skills you will learn, but the exposure to different values and how they want their forests to be managed. Roy and Dexter started to co-teach the course 20 years ago. Their passions and experiences have influenced generations of foresters who practice professional forestry in BC and worldwide. John Prince Research Forest is also raising money for the new building construction to improve the learning experience for students, researchers, and other professionals.

But I know we got so much love support from so many people so I thank you for spending time listening to this fully student run project.
