Natural Resources Management

The best way to address today's complex environmental problems is to have conscientious citizens making educated decisions about what we do with our natural resources. To that end, Green Mountain College recently initiated the Natural Resources Management Major at the college, as a means to teach tomorrow's park rangers, forest managers, and wildlife specialists how to be good stewards to our natural resources, our land, and the people who rely on them for their livelihood, recreation, and physical well-being.

Drawing on the experience of professionals from the fields of public policy, resource management, and recreation and leisure, the Natural Resources Management Major prepares students to step into these leadership roles and to make sound decisions while experiencing successful, interdisciplinary careers that deal primarily with the natural world.
