TREES Refresher Course for Forestry Graduates Concluded

The Training Center for Tropical Resources and Ecosystems Sustainability (TREES) conducted a Refresher Course for Forestry Graduates last May 8-29, 2013.  The course was designed to augment the knowledge, skills and attitudes of forestry graduates to systematically prepare them in taking the foresters’ licensure examination.

Forty-two participants registered for the course, 26 of which are from the UPLB College of Forestry. The other 16 participants are from the Southern Luzon State University (4), Benguet State University (2), Abra State Institute of Science and Technology (3),  Mariano Marcos State University (1), Mindanao State University (1), University of Rizal System (1) Don Mariano Marcos State University (1) Bicol University (1) Aurora State College of Technology (1), and Visayas State Univeristy (1).


The course content is divided into four major subject areas in forestry namely; Forest Ecosystem, Forest Utilization Engineering, Forest Governance and Social Forestry, and Forest Production and Management.   The specific topics are based on the revised syllabi for Foresters’ Licensure Examination from the Professional Regulation Commission.
The training course also includes a topic on Recent Developments in Forestry.  Nine UPLB graduates make it to the top 10 during the mock examination conducted on the last day, while a participant from DMMSU garnered the top 8 slot.
