This course is designed to provide the student with a basic understanding of the characteristics of trees, shrubs and woody vines of the eastern United States, with emphasis on the trees of West Virginia. The student should gain an understanding of tree identification, woodland biology and ecology, and silvics (the life history and biology of trees, characteristics and ecology of forests and how these are managed for various uses). In addition we will learn about forest soils and hydrology and how these affect woodland growth and development. As Scheduled Grading Basis Normal Grading Mode
