Our School, established as one of the first natural resource programs in the country, has been "creating futures since 1907." On July 1, 2009, the College of Forest Resources became the School of Forest Resources within the University of Washington's new College of the Environment. Our vision is to provide world class, internationally recognized knowledge and leadership for environmental and natural resource issues. Our programs focus on the integrating theme of sustainability in environments that include wilderness and park-like ecosystems, intensively managed planted forests, and urban environments. We educate the next generation of leaders in natural resources and public and private land management throughout the state, the region, and the nation and contribute to the solution of natural resources and environmental challenges throughout the world.
