Urban Forestry Technician Co-op

Urban forestry focuses on the care, protection, and maintenance of trees, forests and green spaces in towns and cities. It’s caring for “the green in the gray.” As an urban forestry technician, you will require technical, applied skills, but you will also need the ability to work with people and communities. Your work will involve balancing, integrating, and linking the social, economic, environmental, and conservation-related issues associated with the urban forest and community spaces. This unique 2 + 2 program blends applied and multidisciplinary skills to prepare for the demands of this emerging field. Professionals are needed who can communicate effectively with the public, understand and interpret legislation and policies, and have a broad perspective on planning and conservation. — Fleming College
