Program Summary

Our distinguished nationally accredited Forest
Technology diploma program bridges the environment
with people to ensure the balanced use of forested
landscapes. We train forestry professionals to use

an ecologically-responsible approach in maintaining
the integrity of the whole forest in the short and
long-term.

This field is anticipating increased job opportunities
to augment a rapidly retiring workforce. The public
needs to be reassured that our forests are being
managed by skilled, responsible forest practitioners.
