ESRM TRANSCRIPTED OPTIONS ~ Not required—students can also design their own course paths of upper division ESRM courses ~ Landscape Ecology and Conservation Landscape ecology is an integrated approach to studying the interaction of physical, biological, and social processes on ecological systems at a wide range of spatial scales. The Landscape Ecology and Conservation option focuses on applied aspects of landscape ecology that create, sustain, and alter landscapes to achieve biological diversity and integrity as well as social purposes. Required Courses: ESRM 323, 350, 381, 400, 426, 470; and one of: ESRM 311, 315, 331, 441, or 450; and one of: ESRM 320, 371, 403, 420, 425, 461, or 465. Restoration Ecology and Environmental Horticulture Restoration Ecology and Environmental Horticulture students learn and apply fundamental concepts of biology, plant science, and ecology. This disciplinary knowledge, supporting coursework, and experience allow students to become accomplished in the productions of plant material, the practice of sustainable landscaping, repairing damaged ecosystems, and contributing to other large interdisciplinary projects. Required Courses: (choose 35 credits from) ESRM 331, 362, 411, 412, 415, 473, 474, 478, 479, 480, SEFS 503. Sustainable Forest Management Wildlife Conservation Students acquire the knowledge and Wildlife conservation is the science and skills to measure and assess natural art of managing animals populations and resources in order to understand the their related resources. This option ecology of forest systems; manage for offers coursework in wildlife ecology, quantitative science, and the social and environmental services; treat forest political aspects of wildlife conservation fuels; achieve sustainable harvest; market and sell forest products; and understand how social, economic, and ecologic forces impact the management of forests and their resources. Required Courses: ESRM 323, 368, 430, 461, 470; issues. Students can expect hands‐on field experiences including: how to identify, capture, and handle animals, and how to assess, map, and plan wildlife habitats.
