Central Okanagan Public School is offering a program segway to a career in resource management in the forestry sector.

The Rutland Senior Secondary (RSS) forestry class embraces a hands-on learning experience open to all Grade 11 and 12 students in the school district.

It begins in the second semester of the school year for Grade 11 and extends into the Grade 12 fall semester.

Participating students will spend more of their time learning a variety of forestry related career job skills throughout the Central Okanagan.

In a video explaining the program, Corbett explained the forestry program differs a bit from other school district career oriented programs because it exposes students to a variety of forestry-related career opportunities rather than focusing on one specific career option.

The tasks learned include field mitigation, tree removal, timber cruising, tree planting and pruning, log scaling, tree falling and use of a chainsaw.

He said those interested in the program can speak to their school councillors and be set up to job shadow a forest industry professional to gauge their interest in pursuing a career in the forestry profession.

The school district says past forestry program graduates have found success in many different fields, with some going on to college and university and working as Registered Forestry Professionals, and others having pursued careers in the arborist field or other trades.
