Natural Resources/Forestry Education Trends and Issues

Natural Resources are usually living resources such as forests and livestock that can renew themselves if they are not over harvested. For Forestry Education trends and issues is a concern about the number of students in forestry programs and the availability of those schools. Another point is that other countries globally are seeing that forestry is important and must be used to ensure a future for our future generations. One point that stands out is that forestry may become part of a number of other jobs ex: wildlife and fisheries work. This makes sense if our forests do not regenerate and as populations increase their will be less space for forests for agricultural crops and homes will be needed. Everyone including myself needs to do everything they can to preserve and manage our forest to ensure that future generations have this wonderful natural and renewable resource of forests. Another point is that as technology increases and changes the forestry education trends and issues will change accordingly.
