Historical NoteReturn to Top

The field of forestry has a long and complex history at Washington State University, as it was long one of the subjects that the state legislature had designated as for the University of Washington. In the 1960s, however, a degree was approved. Range management was less controversial.

A more complete history is found in the guide to other department records, Archives 37.
