1 Thompson Rivers University, Kamloops, Canada For more information, comments or suggestions The Faculty of Forestry at TRU offers four-year degree programs of undergraduate study in five areas of forestry: Forest Resource Management, Forest Operations, Forest Science, Wood Science and Industry, and Natural Resource Conservation. Field trips associated with our courses are numerous and diverse, and include visits to the Wells Gray Research Station, grassland, ecosystems, coastal and interior forest ecosystems, forest research stations, local ranches, a local sawmill, and a fish hatchery (locations may changes from year to year). Program courses that usually have field trips include FRST 112/122, FRST 200, FRST 210/220, FRST 211, NRSC 311/321, NRSC 317, NRSC 325, NRSC 326, NRSC 402, NRSC 403, and NRSC 410. Course Descriptions Below is a list of Course Descriptions for courses offered by the Natural Resource Sciences Department. Descriptions for required courses that are offered through other departments (e.g. English, Chemistry, Biology, Economics etc.) can be found in the UCC Calendar. Forestry All FRST and NRSC courses are open to non-program students if space is available, with the written permission of the program co-ordinator. Students who do not have specific prerequisites for a course they wish to take, but believe they have equivalent knowledge, may seek permission to enroll from the course instructor. FRST Introduction to Forestry (2,0,0) This course is an overview of forestry and includes the history of forestry and the forestry profession; present status and role of forestry; forest policy; and future trends in use of forest resources. Prerequisites: None FRST Dendrology 1 (3,0,2)(L) Dendrology is a survey of the structure, function, ecology, and identification of trees. The lecture component deals with two major areas: 1) the structure and function of trees, i.e., reproduction, development, anatomy, morphology and physiology; 2) the ecology and evolution of trees. The laboratory surveys a selection of Canadian, North American, and introduced tree species. Deciduous species are emphasized in FRST 112 and coniferous species in FRST 122. Field trips are an integral part of the course. Prerequisites: Biology 11 or BIOL 050, (preferably Biology 12 or BIOL 062) Corequisite: BIOL 111 FRST Dendrology 2 (3,0,2)(L) This course is a continuation of Dendrology 1.

FRST Forest Ecology and Silvics 1 (3,0,2)(L) The main objectives of this course are to facilitate your learning of the complexities and interactions that make up forest ecosystems and how this knowledge can be used in predicting forest ecosystem responses to both natural and human induced disturbances. By the end of this course you will have an understanding and appreciation of: Forest ecosystem structures and functions, and how these components interact; how forest ecosystems change over time and the ecological effects of various forest management practices on these systems; the spatial variation in forest ecosystems, methods of describing these variations, and the characteristics of Biogeoclimatic zones in BC, and; the identification and interpretive use of indicator plant species in the description of forest ecosystems. Prerequisites: FRST 112/122 or completion of first year general science with FRST 112 as a corequisite. FRST Introduction to Forest Mensuration and Photogrammetry (3,0,2)(L) This course teaches the student techniques used in basic photogrammetry, photo mapping and photo-based inventory systems. Use of maps and mapping systems will be implemented.

Regression techniques will be used in the analysis of data collected by students. Some weekend fieldwork may be required. Prerequisites: COMP 135. Corequisite: STAT 200 or BIOL 300. FRST Forest Ecology and Silvics 2 (3,0,2)(L) This course examines the ecological and silvical characteristics of forest trees of Western Canada with emphasis on ecological site assessment and applications of silvics in silviculture. This course will also explore the identification and interpretive use of indicator plant species in the description of forest ecosystems, the soil and site features used in determining site quality and the diagnostic procedures used in determining site quality. Prerequisites: FRST 112, completion of first year sciences and with FRST 122 as a corequisite; FRST 210 Corequisite: FRST 200 FRST Forestry Mensuration (3,0,2)(L) Forest inventory methods.

This course will be offered as a two week course at the end of the winter semester. FRST Silviculture (3,0,2) Silviculture is concerned with the art and science of controlling the establishment and growth, composition, health and quality of stands of trees in forests. The objective is to meet the diverse needs and values of landowners and society on a sustainable basis. Silviculture 1 is the first of a two-part series in the study of silviculture concepts and principles. Silviculture 1 and 2 have been designed to parallel, but are not identical to, Forestry 305 and 306 as currently offered by the Faculty of Forestry at the University of British Columbia and each conforms to the ABCPF Silviculture Academic Standards. This course will be offered in a distance format. Prerequisite: Dendrology, Forest Ecology, Forest Silvics, Forest Mensuration. Recommended: Forest Biometrics, Forest Economics, Forest Entomology, Forest Pathology, Forest Soils.
3 FRST Silviculture 2 (3,0,2) Silviculture 2 deals with stand tending silviculture practices from free growing through to final harvest of a stand. These include thinning, fertilization, pruning, and silviculture systems and their relationship to timber quality, structural biodiversity, habitat and stand growth and yield and allowable cuts at the forest level. Decision making in crop planning, stand dynamics, operational problems and relevant history policy and regulatory issues and underlining science theory are also covered. Prerequisites: FRST 112/122, FRST 210, FRST 220, FRST 211, NRSC 320, FRST 200 FRST Forest Harvesting (3,0,2) The field of forest harvesting addresses the engineering, economic, and environmental factors associated with transportation and harvesting systems used in integrated forest resource management. These include forest road design and location, geotechnical engineering, forest road drainage: planning, locating and scheduling the harvest; and an international perspective on logging systems and their application to meet silvicultural objectives. Forest harvesting is a specialized field within forestry, and professional competence within this field (especially road location and design) requires significant course work and extended field internship, in addition to the minimum standards identified here for the "general" forester. This course will be offered in a distance format. Prerequisite: Undergraduate Degree or Diploma from a recognized technical college or university, majoring in forestry or natural resource science.

The lectures and labs in the course provide a general overview of how scientific inquiry and knowledge can be integrated with social, economic and cultural values to provide a platform for the management of natural resources. The topics covered include a diversity of resources and values, such as forestry, soils, agriculture, rangeland (livestock), water, fisheries, wildlife, recreation, first nations issues and aesthetics. Other relevant topics considered in the course are the theory and practice of conflict resolution and the difficulty but importance of including non-market values into management decision making. The course is global in scope, although attention is paid to dealing with subjects particularly relevant to British Columbia. The course is team-taught, primarily by faculty in the Department of Natural Resource Sciences. NRSC Geographic Information Systems (2,3,3)(L) This course is an introduction to basic concepts and applications of geographic information systems.
