Welcome!

Our self-directed, non-credit course is designed for individuals wishing to increase their understanding of forests and forest management. Specifically, the General Forestry Course targets Maryland forest landowners and other citizens with an interest in the principles and practices of forestry. The course is offered online through the university's Electronic Learning Management System (ELMS).
Note: Registration for the fall 2022 session of the General Forestry Course is closed. Information about the fall 2023 session will be available in early 2023.
Enrollment is on a first-come, first-served basis. The course generally runs September 1 to December 15.
