Forestry Technician - Conservation

You don’t just want to protect our natural environment, you want to enhance it. We feel really good about that!

Take your passion for the environment to new heights in the Forestry Technician – Conservation program. This two-year program offers a hands-on, field-oriented approach to learning essential skills in natural resource management.

Gain experience in ecological data collection and identifying interesting and unique ecosystem components. Learn about insects and other organisms that threaten our forests and how to safely control them. And use the latest GPS technology, tools and equipment to help you navigate the massive outdoor lab that waits for you at the heart of Ontario’s Great Lakes.

Did we mention, the federal Great Lakes Forestry Centre and Forest Pest Management Institute and the provincial Ontario Forest Research Institute are both located within a few kilometres of our Sault Ste. Marie campus? Feel free to use us for our connections, we don’t mind.

Test your knowledge on multi-day field trips, collaborate in shared workspaces, and start your natural resource career through a cooperative work placement.
