Description:
The Environmental Conservation Certificate of Achievement provides instructional training necessary for technician level positions in visitor information services, maintenance, resource protection, fish and wildlife, public safety, natural resource and watershed management. The program consists of 18 units of core requirements. Students then select one of three emphases: Parks and Recreation Management, Natural Resources Management, or Watershed Management, and complete 15 units in the chosen emphasis.
The Environmental Conservation: Natural Resources Management Certificate of Achievement will allow students to focus on the protection, cultivation, and management of wildlands and the use of their products, in cooperation with other wildland users.
This program has been designed with the help of experts in the field of Natural Resource Management to fulfill the needs of employers. Employment has been mainly in governmental positions. However, jobs in the private consulting industry have been increasing. Working conditions are ideal for those who like to help others enjoy the out-of-doors.
Students who have completed the Natural Resources Management Competency Certificate have fulfilled a portion of the Environmental Conservation : Natural Resources Management Certificate of Achievement.
The work of a conservation technician supports and compliments that of the professional wildland forester. The principal duties of technicians involve the protection, cultivation, and management of wildlands and the use of their products in cooperation with other wildland users. Typical work may include duties related to reforestation, estimating, appraising, selling or buying timber; range management; research and extension work; logging, milling, and wood conversion.

specific lower-division major requirements vary among individual campuses. See a
