GIS Certificate in Forestry
Professional foresters have long considered how to balance forest resource objectives and constraints
in the context of economics, productivity, and ecological
sustainability. Today, foresters are further challenged by complex
regulations and increased pressure on limited resources. A GIS
Certificate in Forestry will help learners effectively utilize GIS and
Global Positioning System best practices for integrated forest
management.
