NRSC 1120

Students will learn the structure and function of trees (i.e. reproduction, development, anatomy, morphology and physiology), the ecology and evolution of trees looking at both their present and past uses and the preservation of trees on the landscape including the importance of trees and how to manage for some species using both modern science and traditional knowledge. The laboratory component surveys a selection of Canadian, North American, and introduced tree species. Deciduous species are emphasized in NRSC 1120 and coniferous species will be emphasized in NRSC 1220.
