Participants in the Environmental Technician Essentials Course will gain practical experience in:
- Preparing and planning fieldwork
- Documenting conditions and features by recording clear, accurate field notes and data
- Using topographic maps to understand the land around you and for route planning
- Determining location using the common coordinate systems: GCS (latitude/longitude) and UTM
- Using the compass as a navigating and surveying instrument
Participants leave with the core skills needed to support fieldwork across a wide range of environmental and natural resource activities.
The Environmental Technician Program is a comprehensive 15-day applied training curriculum that prepares participants for work in environmental field roles. Participants gain broad, hands-on experience with a range of tools for documenting and understanding landscapes, soil, plants, animals, waterways, and fish.
Participants in the Environmental Technician Program will gain practical experience in:
- Planning and carrying out fieldwork safely
- Using standard field tools across multiple disciplines (e.g., compass, clinometer, wildlife cameras, fish sampling gear)
- Identifying and classifying soils, vegetation, trees, fish, and wildlife
- Conducting field surveys, habitat assessments, and environmental monitoring
