Creating a new generation of natural resource leaders.
Haida Gwaii Semester in Natural Resource Studies
Sk'aadGa Gud ad is ~ Learning Balance
Developed for senior undergraduates interested in natural resources and the environment, Haida Gwaii Semesters provide students with an immersion opportunity to study in a remote,
resource-dependent community where the pressing social, cultural, ecological, political and economic issues facing natural resource managers around the globe converge at a local scale.
Students live on Haida Gwaii, attend lectures at the world-class Haida Heritage Centre at Kaay Llnagaay (“Sea Lion Town”) in Skidegate, tour the forests and landscapes of the islands, meet with local experts and knowledge-holders, and become part of the Haida Gwaii Community.
The 2012 winter semester is now underway.

“The Haida Gwaii Semester represents a tremendous opportunity for students to learn actively about a community, its surrounding forest, and their interdependence. UBC is pleased to be involved in this endeavour.”
~ Peter Marshall, Associate Dean, Faculty of Forestry, University of British Columbia
