[CANUFNET] U of T Faculty of Forestry

[John McNeil]

Thanks Jack for sharing.

It’s difficult for me to understand how this decision by the Board supports the public good in light of how this science-based program graduated generations of experts who have served society and continue to address such critical environmental issues as climate change?

The Faculty was the birthplace of urban forestry in 1965. This legacy lives on in communities across the globe.

Sincerely,

John

Yesterday shortly after 5:00 PM, the U of T Board of Governors voted to disestablish the oldest forestry school in Canada. They succeeded 26 years ago to terminate the undergraduate program.
The process includes an amalgamation into the Faculty of Landscape Architecture with a promise to continue undergraduate studies within the Arts and Science program and to maintain current graduate programs including the MFC.
