Environmental reclamation is the returning of lands disturbed from mining, oil and gas activities, transportation, or logging back into either economically productive or natural habitats. Environmental reclamation technicians provide the expertise and support to carry out the reclamation and re-vegetation of these disturbed lands. If you have a passion for the environment, and want to make a lasting difference, this program will get you started. Where your career takes you next is up to you.
Our two-year diploma program was designed by employers to include specific training essential for this career while focusing on the unique environmental conditions of southern Alberta and Saskatchewan. You will develop your skills and knowledge in surveying and mapping; water and soil studies; botany and plant taxonomy; agronomy; weed control; environmental assessment and monitoring; environmental law, legislation and reclamation technologies. At the conclusion of the program, students undertake a 220-hour work experience practicum where they will put their learning into practice and build essential industry contacts.
