Purpose
The Forest Management Technology program, the only one of its kind in Virginia, is designed for persons who seek employment in forestry occupations. Students use industry-standard equipment and gain practical experience through summer internships across the country with organizations such as the U.S. Forest Service, Virginia Department of Forestry and private forestry employers.
Forestry and forest-related industries are vital to the economy of Virginia, where 60 percent of the total land area is forested. The use of these resources by forest industries and land management agencies requires forest technicians trained in forest management, protection, timber harvesting and utilization. Graduates of the program will be qualified for positions in forestry, urban tree care and forest products. This program is recognized nationally by the Society of American Foresters.
