Employers of CR graduates include the U.S. Forest Service and other federal 年龄ncies, CalFIRE, various forest industry companies, private consultants, and non-governmental organizations. Even more opportunities exist for students who are prepared to move elsewhere in the state or country.

The job outlook for foresters and forest technicians is robust. Fifty percent of current foresters/technicians are projected to retire within the next five years, which will open up new entry-level positions as more experienced foresters move up the promotion ladder.

“I have been fortunate enough to put all the knowledge I have gained from CR together with my past work experience to start two forestry businesses around forest restoration and drone/remote sensing technology…I highly recommend their program to anyone and everyone looking to further their understanding of natural resource man年龄ment.”

- Joe 沙锥鸟 (FNR 2017 graduate)


GPS and GIS, Remote Sensing Technology

展望未来, 所有的林业, 生态, wildlife and natural resource jobs will require experience with Geographic Information Systems (GIS). CR is your path to that goal. You’ll leave here with skills in global positioning, geospatial analysis, digital mapping, and 3-D terrain modeling.

Our Summer Drone Academy teaches the physics of flight and weather, 如何计划, 部署, and man年龄 drone related data, and how to personally pilot a drone in order to collect data.
