Laboratories
Faculty members of all departments conduct research in a number of laboratories located in Arntzen Hall and the Environmental Studies building. These laboratories provide a valuable training ground for College of the Environment students, and also offer paid research opportunities to a number of graduate and undergraduate assistants. While some of the labs are associated with Institutes, others are stand-alone facilities managed by individual faculty members and their graduate assistants.
Canyon Lake Community Forest
College of the Environment students have access to a community forest reserve of 2,300 acres of forest land in the foothills of Mt. Baker. This parcel of land includes 700 acres of old-growth forest with trees 800 to 1,000 years old, as well as a 50-acre lake and alpine wetlands. This property is one of many resources available to students for research and study in land and wildlife management.
