The Master of Forest Ecosystem Science
The Master of Forest Ecosystem Science (MFES) is a professional coursework degree designed for forest and environmental sector leaders and managers. Forests play a diverse and critical role in
sustaining human and other biological
communities at a local and global scale.
Forests provide wildlife habitat and
biodiversity conservation, timber production
for high-value products, clean water and other ecosystem services — and they play
a central role in mitigating rapid climate
change. The MFES provides students with the skills that are essential
to maintaining and improving forests
for these and other values.
