FOR 223 – Introduction to Wildland Fire Management Spring every year
FOR 223 is a core course in the Forestry BS program at Humboldt. The course is a lecture/lab-based course that provides a history and development of fire policy, an overview of fire behavior, and an overview of fire use in wildland management and conservation.

FOR 321 – Fire Ecology Fall every year 
Fire ecology is a lecture/lab format course that covers the topics of fire history, plant adaptations to fire, fire effects, and fire interactions with other disturbances as they relate to fire regimes of California. This course is required for all Wildland Fire and Conservation options in Forestry BS program but is frequently taken by other students interested in the topic. Students are required to do a 15 min. presentation on a fire regime of an ecosystem of their choosing

FOR 323 – Wildland Fire Behavior Fall every year
Fire Behavior and Suppression is a lecture/lab-based course that provides a strong background in the fundamentals of fire behavior, modeling and measuring wildland fires, and the fundamentals of fire’s use in wildland conservation. FOR 323 is required of all students in the Wildland Fire Management Option in Forestry and an optional course in the campus-wide Fire Ecology minor. Students are required to complete a term project based at Redwood National Park.

FOR 422 – Wildland Fire Use Spring every year
Wildland Fire Use course is an experiential course for students interested in prescribed fire management and restoration of fire-adapted ecosystems. The course provides students with “hands-on” learning opportunities designed to prepare them for application of prescribed fire. The students participate in training courses that provide them with Fire Fighter II certification (Red Card), introduction into developing a prescribed burn plan, and participating in a prescribed burn.

FOR 423 – Wildland Fuels Management Spring every year
Wildland Fuels Management is a lecture/lab-based course that addresses the manipulation of forests and wildlands to reduce fire intensity, severity, and improve resilience to fire. The course consists of lectures, field and computer labs, and is based on student reviews of current literature in this emerging field. The course is required of all students in the Wildland Fire Management Option in Forestry, an optional course in the campus-wide Fire Ecology minor, and is frequently taken by other students interested in this topic.

FWWS 501 – Research Methods and Planning in Forest Sciences Fall every year 
This course is required of all graduate students in the Natural Resources- Forestry MS program and is frequently taken by undergraduate students with a strong interest in forest and wildland research. The course focuses on critical review of current literature, grant proposals, and presentation of forest science research.
