First-year students in Principles and Practice of Silviculture gained invaluable hands-on experience during recent field classes, expertly led by Snr. Prof. Hemanthi Ranasinghe. The sessions immersed participants in forest management techniques, tree planting demonstrations, site assessments, and sustainable silvicultural practices across key Sri Lankan woodland sites.
Through active fieldwork, students applied classroom concepts to real-world scenarios, learning about species selection, stand improvement, and ecosystem restoration. These outings sparked enthusiasm for forestry innovation and responsible land stewardship.
