About

Leave Your Mark on the Woods Where You Learned!

SFR alumni know that the best lessons aren’t found in a textbook—they’re found in the dirt, the brush, and the timber.

We are closing in on a new sawmill and classroom in the heart of the Dwight B. Demeritt University Forest. This isn't just a building; it’s a living laboratory, and will give the next generation of foresters the chance to learn a concept under a roof and put it into practice outdoors within minutes.

Your gift today directly provides the hands-on experience that turns students into industry leaders. Help us finish this project and give our future forest resource professionals the tools they need to lead Maine’s timber industry forward.

Help us close the gap. Invest in the forest, the classroom, and the future.

This Maine Day of Giving, whether you're on campus or from afar—ENGAGE. Give where your heart leads and inspire programs and causes at the University of Maine with your generosity.

Donors who give $25 or more will receive a complimentary UMaine-branded Zipper Pull!
