100 Years of Forestry at The University of Montana

On March 21, 1913, the state legislature of Montana authorized the creation of the College of Forestry and Conservation at The University of Montana-Missoula. Over the last one hundred years forestry has grown to become more than just a degree field, it has established a culture all its own on campus. The internationally recognized faculty, unique student field experiences and the annual events of the iconic Forestry Club have resulted in an environment where the traditions of the past are honored and innovations of the future are pursued.
