It has been a long-standing philosophy of the Department of Forestry that all graduates earning a BS degree be qualified Forest Resource Managers. In keeping with this philosophy, students in the Forest Products option take many of the Resource Management courses, and to meet their interest in wood utilization, take the six products courses. This curriculum has prepared our graduates well for production positions in industry and the vast majority do take industrial positions in wood utilization rather than in Resource Management.

The agricultural landscape has four major sources of nonpoint source (NPS) pollutants. These are: 1) surface and subsurface runoff which carry sediment and agricultural chemicals to streams; 2) eroding streambanks which can contribute more than fifty percent of the sediment load to the stream; 3) field tile drains which contribute the highest concentrations of soluble agricultural chemicals to streams; and 4) livestock grazing of streamside or riparian areas which contribute to bank instability and add animal waste and pathogens to the water.

The Forest Products Society has been pushing on with new ideas to promote interest in the club for new students. One idea was the installation of a new bulletin board outside of room 263 in Bessey Hall. The board contains information on upcoming events, club announcements, and the species of the week. The species of the week display gives information about a particular species of tree. This information includes a sample of wood, a description of anatomical features, and its geographical range.

Community Tree Management" (Forestry 475) became a regular course offering two years ago in the Department of Forestry at Iowa State University. "Urban Forestry" seminars/ special topics courses had sporadically been offered during the l 980's in response to student and faculty interest in the subject. A regular course offering in this area was added to the curriculum to provide essential background and experience for the growing number of students that are employed (both during their years at Iowa State University. and after graduation) in various aspects of urban and community forestry.
