Tuna de Montes (music group made up of university student minstrels)

This is the oldest association of the school (1973). Its roots are based on the minstrel tradition, playing and singing to lovely women all over the world. Each year, we start our activities with the "pasaclases", singing around the school. During this day we inform about the activities planned for the year: rehearsals, competitions with other “Tunas”, national competition of “agroforestry Tunas” (out of Madrid), international folklore festivals, literary contests and Gymkhanas. Our social aims include collaborating with some NGO’s and singing in old people’s homes, hospitals and nurseries.
We also travel to other countries and now we are thinking about organizing free lessons of Spanish guitar, lute and “bandurria” for all people interested in the noble art of string music.

Hunting and Fishing group

It is well known the love shown by many students of the faculty for the world of hunting. Actually, many of those who chose to attend this university, found their vocation thanks to the hunting activity.
Time has passed, and in a country like ours and within the European Union, things change. Today, we are all increasingly compromised by respect for natural resources and sustainable development. That is why one of the great tasks of Forestry Engineer is to embrace a serious and responsible management of these resources, based with respect for the environment
From the Association of Fish and Game we would like to express our commitment to introduce, inform and encourage the passion for hunting and fishing among all students, so that these activities will be respected and accepted by all sectors of society.
We organize lectures, courses, and we event collaborate with some firms related with the sector. We meet on the first floor of the teaching block (aulario).

These activities are complemented by lectures, courses of introduction to ornithology, book loan, etc.
