The Forestry and Wildlife Learning Community is a fellowship of students who share a common interest in our natural resources, and who are new to Auburn University’s School of Forestry and Wildlife Sciences.  They are united by their love of the outdoors and a passion for studying techniques to protect, understand and utilize the wilder lands in our world.  Whether majoring in wildlife, forestry, forest engineering, or wildlife pre-veterinary medicine, students benefit from their time together in common courses, sharing space and time with people of similar interests.  Students in the community have the option of living together in the same residence hall on the Hill.  Other benefits include early registration into key courses, greater contact with committed faculty from their major, and a smoother transition into collegiate life.  Students are encouraged to attend Forestry Club meetings, Wildlife Society meetings, and activities of their own design.  If you are looking for the fastest way to make connections on the wilder side of campus, this is your ticket! Contact Dale Dickens at (334) 844-1050 or Mrs. Lane Messer at (334) 844-1001 for more information on joining our unique family.  

Students in this community will have the option to live together on the Hill.

The coordinator of the Forestry and Wildlife Learning Community is Dale Dickens, Director of Student Services in the School of Forestry and Wildlife Sciences.
