 Mission:

The Wildland Recreation and the Outdoor Recreation and Conservation Lab at the University of Tennessee aims to educate students about the power of outdoor recreation and how manage resources in a sustainable way.

Wildland recreation is an interdisciplinary program that prepares students to work in natural resource-based recreation settings. Students can obtain specializations in complementary areas such as education, cultural and natural history interpretation, communications and public relations, landscape design and ornamental horticulture, or business and public administration.

Education Programs:

Student Education – At school - class time programs, Field Trips / Day trips
