History
Michael Charles Feller came to British Columbia, after obtaining Chemistry degrees from the University of Melbourne, to complete his PhD in Forestry at UBC in 1975. After a few years lecturing back in Melbourne, he returned to UBC in 1979 as a postdoctoral fellow, was made a NSERC University Research Fellow, and then joined the professoriate in 1983. Now an Associate Professor Emeritus, University of British Columbia (UBC) Forest and Conservation Sciences Department, Michael Feller has dedicated a lifetime to the preservation and enjoyment of our forests. For the BC Mountaineering Club [BCMC], he has been archivist and author, editor and publisher. From his initiatives regarding land use policies along the Sea to the Sky corridor to his academic research work to designing a forest conservation course for fourth year students at UBC, Michael has relentlessly advocated for the alpine environment and the responsible and respectful use of wilderness resources.
