The University of Montana College of Forestry and Conservation - Formerly the School of Forestry, this is where I am going to school.  One of the best research schools for Forestry in the nation.  Recently there has been an effort to broaden the fire emphasis by adding new classes on a trial basis, and my fellows students and I have also taken steps to create a student group devoted to helping firefighting students at the University network with each other and potential employers.  We believe that we are the next generation of wildland fire professionals, and are committed to helping new firefighters find opportunities that will help them develop professionally and personally while attending school in Missoula.
