Support our students and the field of forestry!
Give to the Max Day is Minnesota's state-wide day of giving, where we band together to make our state a better place. This Give to the Max Day, we're raising $2,500 to provide scholarships for UMN students to attend our Field Sessions at the Cloquet Forestry Center, a graduation requirement for the Forest and Natural Resource Management (FNRM) undergraduate degree program.
As forestry and natural resource professionals know, Field Sessions provide students essential hands-on learning experiences and opportunities to practice the skills they'll need in the workforce, including sampling and measuring. The experiences also strengthen our students' reverence for the natural world, encourage them to forge strong connections with each other and with our faculty, and equip them with the confidence they'll need to succeed in the workforce.
Because these experiences require lodging, food, and other additional expenses, they come at an extra cost to our students. Let's support their learning – and the field of forestry – by helping to defray those costs and ensuring all can participate!
Give today! Every dollar counts. Visit the 2026 Forest Resources Experiential Learning fundraising page to donate now.
