Indian forest officers come to Yale University for a two-week intensive training program on modern forestry practices. This is part of an ongoing partnership between Yale, an Indian university, and the Indian Ministry of Environment and Forests. The officers receive lectures from leading experts in forestry science and participate in discussions on managing both local and global forests. They also go on field trips to forests in Connecticut and Massachusetts to observe sustainable management techniques firsthand. The program aims to expose the Indian foresters to new ideas and practices to help them better manage India's forests for the future.
