The Exchange Program (EP) offers forestry students the chance to gain professional experience in a foreign country by participating in short-term practical placements. As past participants can attest, learning about forestry is just one part of the EP experience. Living and working abroad gives trainees the chance to learn about a different culture, meet new people, and share and exchange knowledge and ideas. So why not apply today!
