Welcome to the School of Forest Resources

Welcome to the School of Forest Resources at the University of Maine. Ninety percent of Maine's land area is forested, the highest percentage in the entire country. A diverse array of academic and research programs at the University of Maine reflect the importance of forests to the state and strive to promote their understanding, conservation, efficient use, and sustainable management for multiple uses including wood products, recreation, and wildlife habitat. Our faculty, staff, and students work together to fulfill our Land-Grant mission of providing teaching, research, and public outreach to Maine, the nation, and the world.
