    The UBC Farm is a great space for outdoor learning for students, teachers and the UBC Farm community. This website offers forestry-related resources for those seeking informatation from plant identification to aerial photos. Enjoy!

  • “How To” Videos

    Throughout the summer, students have created a series of non-professional videos that will teach you the basics about introductory forestry-related skills. Discover how to measure DBH, use a compass, and much more!

  • Digital Herbarium

    After a long summer of collecting field data at the UBC Farm, students pressed and identified the various plants that are common to the area. Here you are able to search plants by common area, name or nutrient and moisture regimes.

The UBC Farm is a diverse landscape of fields, forests and built-structures that provides food, forest products and ecosystem services. This unique area enables students, researchers and members of the public to learn about sustainable farming and forestry, explore farm-forest-community interactions, re-establish a connection to the land, and experience nature in the city.

This website is designed to provide students and teachers with learning materials relevant to forestry and encourage public awareness of forestry products and services. Here you will find introductory aids for the forestry ‘beginner’  as well as comprehensive learning tools for prescription and management planning.
