While careers in the natural resource major are not as well defined as careers in some other areas, there are many choices and many different directions in which to go. Because of this, additional education/training may be required in order to become: s FORESTER s WILDLIFE TECHNICIAN s ENVIRONMENTAL REMEDIATION TECH. s ENVIRONMENTAL WRITERS s WILDLIFE CONSULTANT s FOREST/PARK RANGERS/STAFF s ENVIRONMENTAL POLICE PERSON s ENVIRONMENTAL INTERPRETER s WILDLIFE PHOTOGRAPHER s OUTDOOR INSTRUCTOR s WASTE WATER TECHNICIAN s TOUR LEADER s ZOO/AQUARIUM MUSEUM STAFF Our natural resources management program at Bristol County Agricultural High School focuses upon the four component parts of our renewable natural resources: FORESTRY, WATER RESOURCES, WILDLIFE BIOLOGY, AND OUTDOOR SKILLS. Career paths for technicians exist in the following: conservation and regulation, forestry and related fields, water quality technology, solid waste management, outdoor recreation, environmental interpretations, eco-tourism, and fisheries and wildlife management. In order to understand more about what goes on around us, we study soils and land use, botany, plant diseases and insects, and many topics in the field. Related studies include: s GEOLOGY AND SOILS s ENTOMOLOGY AND PATHOLOGY s PLANT PROTECTION AND PESTICIDES s PLANT MATERIALS Often tools do not seem, on the surface, to have a great deal to do with this study. There are many which we may overlook because we think of them as something other than tools. Some of these tools are: s SNOW SHOES s BOATS AND CANOES s FIELD OPTICS s CLIMBING EQUIPMENT s WADERS s FISHING NETS AND SEINES s RADIO TELEMETRY GEAR s FLOW-METERS s IDENTIFICATION BOOKS AND NOTEBOOKS s SAMPLING EQUIPMENT |
