Situates our understanding of forests in space and
time, focusing primarily on the ecology, history,
management, and controversy surrounding Pacific
Northwest coniferous forests and comparing these
nearby forests with others across the globe.
Field-intensive, with one overnight and two
daylong forest excursions, and fieldwork in
forests adjacent to Lewis & Clark. Students will
gain skills in tree and forest measurement, a more
variegated understanding of our region's forested
landscape, an opportunity to engage firsthand with
people who approach these forests in differing
ways, and a group-sourced context via multiple
small-team projects on forests in other parts of
the world. Lectures; reading discussions; guest
panels; fieldwork and field trips; team projects.
