Forestry Techniques

The only program of its kind in Ontario, this intensive, two-semester certificate will give you the sought-after technical skills needed to launch a successful career in the forestry sector.

Highly hands-on, our intensive ‘boots on the ground’ Forestry Techniques program will prepare you for direct entry into the workforce or provide you with a pathway to further education. Two semesters and delivered in-person, the program focuses on the applied and technical skills necessary to conduct field work and support forest management operations in the Great Lakes St. Lawrence and Boreal Forest regions.

Career Opportunities

There are career opportunities for graduates of this program anywhere there is a forest – across Canada, around the world, or right in your own community.

Along with careers in the forestry industry itself (woodlands, sawmills, pulp mills), you could find yourself working for hydroelectric companies, conservation authorities, municipalities, government agencies, forest nurseries, federal/provincial forestry-related ministries, or private contractors.
