After graduating from Humboldt State University in 1972, with a Bachelor of Science in forest management, Mr. Gubrud completed coursework in agricultural resource forestry and obtained a Master of Science in forestry science and urban forestry from California Polytechnic State University. His educational foundation gave him a platform from which he propelled his career and pursued his passion in forestry.
