Eesti Metsaüliõpilaste Selts · Registry code 80155159
Caring for Estonia's forests — and for the people who will tend them.
We are the association of Estonia's forestry students: a non-profit community that brings future foresters together in the field, the laboratory and the lecture hall, so that sustainable forestry is learned, practised and passed on.

To foster sustainable forestry practice, support forestry students in their academic and professional growth, and promote the conservation of Estonia's forest and wetland ecosystems through education, research and hands-on fieldwork.
