School in Victoria, Australia

The Victorian School of Forestry (VSF) was established in October 1910 at Creswick, in the Australian state of Victoria.
It was located at the former Creswick Hospital, built in 1863 during the gold rush.
The creation of VSF was one of the many recommendations of a Royal Commission held between 1897 and 1901 into forest degradation.
The first tertiary forestry school in Australia, VSF was administered by the Forests Commission Victoria (FCV) until 1980, when VSF amalgamated with the University of Melbourne to become that institution's School of Ecosystem and Forest Sciences.
From 1910 to 1980, 522 students completed the Diploma of Forestry at VSF.
