Overview

The two-year Forestry Technician Ontario College Diploma program from Algonquin College , delivered in a compressed format over 45 weeks, is the most hands-on and field-oriented program of its kind in Ontario.

The Forestry Technician program prepares students in the implementation and influence of best practices of good forest management in an ecological, environmental and social context. Students interact with forest industry, sustainable forest license holders, private woodlot owners and government organizations at all levels.

Careers

Graduates are well prepared to enter the workforce or to further their studies through university or the natural resources law enforcement (conservation officer) program. Geographic mobility is usually a prerequisite to employment with forestry companies, governments, private woodlot owners, hydro, municipalities, conservation authorities or resource consultants.

Graduates may find entry-level work in the fields of tree marking, forest inventory, forest environment and ecosystem assessment, compliance monitoring, forest renewal, harvesting, parks, wildlife management, nature interpretation, arboriculture, bio-energy management and forest fire control. Self-employment as a forestry contractor or consultant is another avenue graduates may decide to pursue.
