Departmental Overview
When it comes to the world we live in, no detail is too small to be noticed and connected to something bigger. At UC Berkeley's College of Natural Resources (CNR), we study how all aspects of our environment intersect and support each other so we are able to do more in the world, and do it wisely.

At CNR, we study natural and human systems from biological, ecological, economic, and social science perspectives.
