Foundations in History & Policy of Renewable Natural Resources
This class gives students a foundation in the historical context of natural resource management, focusing on the social, political and economic factors that affect natural resource use. We cover the history of resource use in the United States from the late 1500's, a time of european adventurers and settlers, up to and including present day practices.
The class also presents legislation and policies important to all natural resource managers, as well as to others who have any interaction with natural resources (such as business managers who must source, use, or transport a resource).
While RNR 200 is required for all students enrolled at the School of Natural Resources, it is an excellent elective for students in other disciplines who have an interest in the environment, or who are interested in possibly pursuing a career in protection and management of natural resources.
