Protecting our natural environment is important to you. We get that – trust us.

With our campus nestled in Ontario between the largest freshwater lakes in the world, being fed by pristine rivers and wrapped by undisturbed forests, the conservation and sustainable management of our diverse ecosystem is a big deal.

Welcome to your new classroom. It’s breathtaking.

The two-year Fish and Wildlife Conservation Technician program is not only about identifying important fish and wildlife management issues affecting diverse ecosystems but developing solutions that will make a lasting impact on our environment.

Gain specialized skills in resource management techniques and gain a deep understanding of our changing environment through field and lab surveys.

Plus, through our partnership with the regional conservation authority, we’ve expanded our outdoor classroom adding more diverse lands to research and apply real-world natural resource management techniques.

Get outside. Make a difference. The real you was meant for the Fish and Wildlife Conservation Technician program

Graduates of the Fish and Wildlife Conservation Technician program may find employment as fisheries or wildlife technicians, conservation officers, hatchery workers, area technicians, resource technicians, research technicians, or laboratory technicians with organizations such as the Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry, conservation authorities, regional municipalities, and natural resource consultants.
