“Forestry is not just about trees.  It’s about people, prosperity, and the planet.”

Welcome to the Department of Forestry and Saemaul Sustainable Development.

Our mission is to produce highly skilled professionals who can lead Ethiopia’s journey toward environmental sustainability and rural resilience. By combining modern forestry science with the transformative philosophy of the Saemaul Movement, we offer a unique educational experience that connects natural resource management with community-driven development.

We invite passionate learners, researchers, and partners to join us in advancing sustainable forestry practices, restoring ecosystems, and improving rural livelihoods. Together, we can cultivate a greener, self-reliant, and prosperous Ethiopia.
