    Welcome

    Meet SFFGS

    Since 1937, the School of Forest, Fisheries, & Geomatics Sciences (SFFGS) has been developing new knowledge and educating students and citizens about the sustainable management and conservation of natural resources.

    The School of Forest, Fisheries, and Geomatics Sciences is a unit within the University of Florida Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences (UF/IFAS) and the College of Agricultural and Life Sciences (CALS).

    We are home to three distinct yet integrated program areas: Fisheries and Aquatic Sciences, Forest Resources and Conservation, and Geomatics. We have sites and centers located across the state.

    Our faculty, staff, and students conduct research, teaching, and Extension that cuts across a wide range of environments and disciplines.

    You can always reach out to us for student advising, course feedback, admissions information, and more.

    A three-panel outdoor collage shows a cowboy on horseback, cattle in a pine forest, and a close-up portrait of a man. In the left panel, a man wearing a tan cap, sunglasses, a blue-and-orange plaid shirt, jeans, and boots sits on a brown horse with a coiled rope draped over the saddle. The center panel shows several black, white, and brown cattle standing among tall pine trees and low green vegetation. In the right panel, a man wearing a light-colored cap and dark shirt faces the camera, with cattle and a sunlit pine forest visible behind him.
