The Environmental Conservation program is designed to meet the growing need for environmental and natural resource technicians within the natural resources and parkland areas. The effects from landscape uses such as forestry, agriculture, and urban development are the main focus of this degree. Graduates are employed by federal, state, county, and city governments, tribal entities or businesses managing natural resources. Employment by non-profit organizations is also on the rise.

Your interest in the outdoors and intense physical activity could lead to a rewarding career protecting life, property, and natural resources from wildfires. Gain the skills you need to use planned, controlled fire as a tool in wildlife management, forestry, or endangered species management.

The Wildlife program at Hocking College is a hands-on, experience-based curriculum. Students actively learn and practice field skills here that they will only hear about in other more traditional wildlife management programs.
