UBC Forestry & Environmental Stewardship is located at UBC’s Point Grey campus on the traditional, ancestral, and unceded xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam) Territory. We acknowledge the culture, history, and traditions of the Musqueam and other Indigenous Peoples who have stewarded this land and its forests for millennia. We are grateful to learn, research, and work inside the beautiful Forest Sciences Centre in Vancouver, in our research forests in Maple Ridge and Williams Lake, on Haida Gwaii, and in numerous locations around the world.
