30,000 days Video What will you do with your 30,000 Days?  Students in the Warner College of Natural Resources don't just study the environment in books, they get dirty and get first hand experience. And they have been doing it for over 100 years! Experiential education is the foundation of our programs, because to study the outdoors, you have to get outdoors.

Check out our mountain campus: Pingree Park!

The wide range of undergraduate degrees in Natural Resources and the Environment rivals any college in the nation. From managing wildlife to outdoor recreation to managing forests, our college is involved on every level of sustaining our world.
