The Natural Resources Management and Environmental Sciences Department is now offering a new minor: Fire Ecology and Wildfire Hazard Planning.

“The unprecedented destructive nature of wildfires in California in recent years will require a diversity of disciplines to solve the resulting effects,” said Professor Chris Dicus, minor coordinator.

Students studying fire ecology, wildland fire management and hazard planning will find courses that complement their majors. The first class needed for the new Fire Ecology and Wildfire Hazard Planning will be offered this spring: NR 204 – Wildland Fire Control.
