Forestry & Natural Resources Teacher
Forestry & Natural Resources
the Forestry & Natural Resources Program focuses on a growing field with a diverse range of educational and work opportunities. The two-year program introduces students to outdoor related careers which manage, improve and protect the country's natural resources. The main areas of study within the program are: forestry, natural history, maple sugar production, water quality monitoring, fisheries/aquaculture, diversified agriculture, soil science, and tree harvesting. Students completing the program will have the skills and knowledge needed to gain entry level positions in the forestry industry or a solid educational base to continue their education at a post-secondary level.
Students are assessed on classroom and field work, core competencies, research papers and projects. The majority of the classroom time is outside performing onsite work.
