Since about two years, I’ve been attracted by forests. I like the smell, I like walking through, I’d like to learn about forest flora and fauna. So I’d like to study forestry, which is a bit difficult, because in Austria, it’s not possible to study it part-time.
“The greatest misconception about Forestry today is that it is only concerned with cutting down trees! Forestry is really applied biology: among other things, our students study the forest ecosystem as a whole, and explore the complex relationships between environment and economics, in order to ensure sustainable resource management and the responsible stewardship of world forests in the new millennium. Wood is the most environmentally friendly building material in the world, and it is our job to make sure that forests are harvested responsibly” (http://www.forestry.ubc.ca/intprogs/why.htm)
