The University of Melbourne Creswick Campus

Información

Creswick campus is an important teaching location for the Faculty's forestry courses, perfectly located near a 610 hectare demonstration forest. Adjoining this forest is the 20 hectare campus of Creswick, with its extensive range of tree species, only 15 kilometres of Ballarat. Some of the buildings on the campus were part of the original Creswick goldfields hospital and are significant to Victoria's heritage.

For forestry students it is the practical facilities of the campus, and adjacent Victorian Timber Industries Training Centre and Creswick Landcare Centre, which allows students access to a training sawmill, nursery and laboratories, and the easy access to a diverse range of forests which are the main attractions.

Located on campus is the School of Forest and Ecosystem Science which undertakes extensive research in forestry resource conservation, forest industries and molecular biology.
