Grad Program

Forest Ecology Home

The forest ecology group at the University of Minnesota is made up of individuals from the Reich and Montgomery labs and the Center for Hardwood Ecology (Frelich) and is based in the Department of Forest Resources. The Hobbie, Cavender-Bares and Powers labs in the Dept. of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology, and the Ziegler and Kipfmueller labs in the Dept. of Geography are also active participants in the group. Additionally, we collaborate with Tali Lee in the Biology Department at U of MN - Duluth, Cindy Hale at U of MN - Duluth, and Meredith Cornett at The Nature Conservancy. Our "group" is open to anyone with an interest in forest ecology!
