They sent out a letter to alumni saying the B S in Forestry is no longer offered. Sad end to what once was a respected program . Forestry will now be an 'area of interest' or something like that under another major.

Too bad Hammertime got banned today. I believe forestry is his area of expertise. Not sure if he has a degree or not. I think he does.

My dad got his forestry degree from LSU back in '72 or so. He said they used an old deuce and-a-half to go on "field trips."
I am sure he would post about this if he saw it but he is at a camp in Shell Beach and going fishing in the morning.
Yeah, I'm jelly!

One of my good friends graduated is graduating in forestry this friday. I think LaTech is the only forestry program thats worth a shite. I can go recount but from his pictures it only looked like about 8 people that went through the field program this spring.

My Dad got his Masters in forestry from LSU... Haven't talked to him today, but I'm sure this is going to make him upset. Especially considering he has put that degree to work for the better part of 40 years.

My dad was a Forestry professor at LSU for many years. Sad to see it go...

Stepdad is a retired forester grad from LSU. Early 70s, I'm sure they probably all know each other. Fairly tight knit group
