Abstract

During my career, I have studied and worked at several universities that have had their own research and training forests, and the immense value of these nearby learning resources has gradually become clear to me. Students enrolled in various programs at the Faculty of Forestry, University of British Columbia, learn about hands on forest and conservation practices in the Malcolm Knapp Research Forest in the nearby town of Maple Ridge. As a student, tree and shrub identification made so much more sense when I could visit the local arboretum or park to practice and see species ‘in real life’.
