You’ll spend the first two years at Fleming College’s School of Environmental and Natural Resource Sciences in Lindsay, practising restoration in field work and applied courses. The final two years of your degree at Trent let you specialize and further develop your science, planning, and communications expertise through hands-on field camps nearby or abroad. You’ll graduate with both a college diploma and university degree in four years, and a solid foundation of practical experience with environmental restoration.
