The Forest Science Department (annual capacity: 140 students) of Tokyo University of Agriculture (TUA) has a special education system which contains 9 laboratories. These 9 laboratories are Silviculture, Forest Ecology, Erosion Control and Revegetation Engineering, Forest Engineering, Forest Products Chemistry, Wood Science and Technology, Forest Management, Forest Policy, and an electron microscope laboratory. In each laboratory students participate in seminars, experiments, filed study, and a graduate thesis research. Junior students are selected and are able to join in one of the laboratories. Silviculture is a subject which consists of various fields such as forest ecology, tree physiology, forest soil, forest aesthetics, and so forth. Therefore, Silviculture Laboratory also includes various field seminars, experiments, and field studies. The studies are mainly practiced in the field which aims to allow the acquisition of multiple viewpoints. The topics include seeds, cuttings, nurseries, tree observations, field trips, studies at Okutama Practice Forest, Fuji experiment forest, and other forest fields. Junior students learn various skills of the studies and decide on their own graduate thesis theme. We surveyed students through a questionnaire in 2015 and 2016 and found vegetation survey is a key aspect among the practices.
