Teaching is modern and underpinned by science, practice and current technology:

  • The Forest Establishment Laboratory (quality control of seed, planting material and growing media)
  • Instruments and equipment for measuring microclimatic, structural and physiological parameters of individual trees and tree stands under field conditions
  • School Forest Enterprise – Masaryk Forest Křtiny. This purpose-built facility provides for practical training of students. The Teaching Polygon at Dyke Nurseries focuses on nursery management and growing trees in forest stands based on 23 management models

The nursery is a joint teaching workspace for the Faculty of Forestry and Wood Technology and LESCUS-Cetkovice, with facilities for practical teaching and research in the field of nursery science
  • Partner companies and institutions not only cooperate in preparing lessons, enabling excursions, providing work experience and helping with final theses, their representatives also share their experience through teaching
  • Extensive international cooperation has resulted in a gradual expansion of the number of lessons offered in English

Programmes and applications used in teaching:

  • SIBYLA Triquetra forest growth model forest structure generation, determination of management practices and simulation of forest development
