Yale Forests

Yale Forests The management goals of the Yale Forests are to provide educational, research, and professional opportunities for the faculty and students.

The Yale School of Forestry and Environmental Studies owns 10,880 acres of forestland in Connecticut, New Hampshire, and Vermont that are managed by the School Forests Program. The Program currently manages a total of 7 discrete forests that were donated to the School between 1913 and 1986 and range in size and geography from the 75 acre Crowell Ravine in Vermont to the 7,840 acre Yale Myers Fores

t in Connecticut. The forest composition reflects a latitudinal gradient ranging from a central hardwood covertype in Connecticut to a northern hardwood covertype in New Hampshire and Vermont. Extensive stands of pine and hemlock exist in both regions. The area encompassed by the Yale Forests includes almost all of the topographical and soil conditions, site classifications, and covertypes found in New England.

A group of Yale forestry students joined a group of Technical University Munich (TUM) students for a week long course in Bavarian forest management. Highlights include spruce silviculture, protection forests, agroforestry, and structural composition of trees in urban parks. A huge thank you to our hosts at TUM!

Congratulations to our forestry and environmental graduates! Well done and well deserved!

Fire is always a highlight of our Southern Forestry Field Trip. Special thanks to Kevin Robertson and the team for sharing their wealth of knowledge and experience with us. Pine woodlands like these require fire to thrive and regenerate.

Yale’s Southern Forestry Field Trip has been a tradition since 1907. This year we were grateful to learn from Shirley Sherrod and Karen Lawrence, two inspirational civil rights and agricultural leaders. Our time will certainly be a highlight of the trip.
