Natural Resources are the building blocks of society. Water, soil, wood and wildlife are the raw materials that we rely on throughout our lives. The Natural Resources program is concerned with the management and conservation of these natural resources.
Students should be able to perform manual labor with hand tools and heavy equipment. Most fieldwork is outdoors so the student should be willing and able to spend extended periods outside and dress for the weather. Natural Resource students work with dangerous equipment in an open environment and must exercise caution and responsibility. The program will introduce students to the fields of forestry, environmental science, surveying and heavy equipment operation. The program will also prepare students for college or employment in related fields and develop a safe and cooperative work ethic.
