The Education and Research Center for Biological Resources within the Faculty of Life and Environmental Science consists of three Departments, i.e., Forest Science, Agricultural Science, and Marine Biological Science. Each department conducts characteristic educational research activities in outdoor facilities, includingforest, agricultural farmland, and a marine biological station. Our institution engages in academic, specialized, and practical applied educational areas relating to forested woodlands, cultivated agricultural land, and the sea.
The Education and Research Center for Biological Resources seeks to enable the symbiotic and harmonious relationship between humans and nature as an educational and research institution, regarding prevention of the exhaustion of biological elements or the destruction of the natural environment, through practical educational research on the comprehensive understanding of "forests", "agricultural lands", and "the sea".
Our Center holds a variety of public events for greater appreciation and knowledge of our activities within the community.
