This program offers students the opportunity to learn about natural resources in a combined academic and hands-on practical setting. Students utilize the school’s 35 acre campus to learn about land management and soils, water resources, forestry, wildlife, and outdoor recreation. The program includes the use of small power equipment and large tractor operation.

The Technical Center’s campus includes woods, fields, a pond, streams and wildlife and serves as the laboratory for many learning activities. The students are responsible for maintaining and improving the trail system that winds through the woods. Students also work on off-campus projects.

Natural Resources students participate in the Maine Envirothon each year. All students in this program are also members of the Waldo County FFA Chapter which is a national leadership organization providing opportunities for career development, leadership skills and scholarships. Students can receive a US Department of Labor Tractor Safety Certificate.
