Celebrate over a century of excellence in conservation education and research with the W.A. Franke College of Forestry and Conservation (FCFC) merchandise collection, brought to you by The Last Best Store. This exclusive collection features apparel and accessories branded with the FCFC logo, along with custom designs inspired by the college's rich history and ongoing commitment to sustainability. Each item is designed and made in Missoula, Montana by University of Montana alumni, showcasing high-quality craftsmanship and commitment to conservation rooted in the hometown of FCFC.
The current offerings of FCFC reflect an extraordinary evolution from its prestigious origins as the School of Forestry, founded in 1913, to the broader, dynamic college established in 2016. Today, FCFC offers undergraduate degrees in Environmental Science and Sustainability, Forestry, Wildlife Biology, and Parks, Tourism and Recreation, as well as a range of related Masters and Doctoral degree programs. FCFC's research and outreach activities are administered through the Montana Forest and Conservation Experiment Station, a statewide agency research unit founded in 1937, which facilitates research on issues of concern to Montanans (e.g., water availability and forest management) at Lubrecht Experimental Forest and Bandy Ranch.
By purchasing from this collection, you directly contribute to FCFC’s mission of advancing science-backed conservation advocacy and policy, while empowering the next generation of environmental leaders. Funds raised through this partnership help FCFC demonstrate academic excellence as a global leader in environmental science, conservation, and sustainability.
