Administrative history
In 1921, the University of British Columbia created the Department of Forestry within the Faculty of Applied Science. Herbert Read Christie became its first department head. In 1935, the focus of the Department shifted from logging engineering to scientific engineering. Forestry studies at UBC grew significantly post-war, and the Department became a Faculty in 1951. In 1957, the Sopron School of Forestry became a Division of UBC's Faculty of Forestry. It included all of its staff and students who had fled Hungary during the revolt against Russia in 1956. Three departments created within the Faculty in 1983 included Forest Resources Management, Forest Sciences and Harvesting and Wood Science. For the Deans of the Faculty of Forestry, consult the list of Deans.
