Goals
The general objective of the title "Master in Forest Engineering" is the training of senior technicians trained to plan, project, organize, control and direct natural spaces and the goods and services provided by the forestry area. Its objectives include protecting the soil, conserving and regulating water resources, ensuring the continuity of wild flora and fauna species, improving the rural environment and taking advantage of forest resources, both for transformation by industry and for direct enjoyment. . The construction of forest roads and warehouses for the storage, drying and transformation of wood also falls within its powers. Forest Engineers study and organize the repopulation and conservation of forest areas. To do this, they delve into the knowledge of the fight against plant pests and diseases, the prevention and extinction of fires, the protection and promotion of wildlife, both terrestrial and aquaculture, and the improvement of all wild plant species. . It is intended that the students who graduate from the Master are professionals prepared for the exercise of the regulated profession of "Forestry Engineer" and know how to manage renewable natural resources in a rational way. This title enables the exercise of the regulated profession of Forestry Engineer in Spain.
