The Forest Recreation program at University of Wisconsin\u2013Stevens Point prepares students to support the many social, environmental, and economic benefits of recreation in forests and parks. Offered as both a major and a minor, the program provides students with the knowledge and hands-on experience needed to plan, manage, and enhance outdoor recreation opportunities on public and private lands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Forest Recreation Major prepares students for careers in outdoor recreation management, park planning, visitor services, and public land stewardship, while the Forest Recreation Minor complements studies in natural resources, environmental science, tourism, sustainability, and related fields. Through in-person, experiential learning opportunities, students gain practical skills in trail design, recreation planning, visitor experience management, and collaboration with agencies that protect and manage forests and parks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Whether you are interested in improving outdoor experiences, promoting conservation through recreation, or managing parks and public lands, the Forest Recreation program provides a strong foundation for creating meaningful and sustainable recreation opportunities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
