Integrating forest, range, and wildlife sciences The mission of
the Department of Wildland Resources is to achieve excellence in
integrating forest, range, and wildlife sciences, while building
knowledge to assist in understanding, restoring, and conserving
terrestrial ecosystems. As educators, we mentor students at
undergraduate and graduate levels, synthesizing established
knowledge and cutting-edge research into a dynamic and highly
relevant curriculum. As researchers, we apply internationally
recognized scientific expertise, an interdisciplinary approach,
and a collaborative spirit to develop innovative solutions for
the conservation and management of the natural resources of our
changing planet. As extension professionals, we help the people
on the land understand and use research-based knowledge to
improve their livelihoods through enlightened stewardship of
ecosystem goods and services.
