F&ES Forest-Related Faculty

At the Yale School of Forestry & Environmental Studies, we have 12 faculty members and lecturers devoted to forestry, along with several more who intersect with forest studies - from tree physiology to tropical and temperate forest ecology to silviculture and forest management to society’s complex relationships with forests. With various topics and geographies covered, our exemplary faculty are eager to push the boundaries of forest science through research, policymaking, teaching, and mentoring.
