The Nature Conservancy and SNRE Offer Training Program to Help Land Managers
To help meet the growing need for professionals who manage, protect, and restore important natural areas in Florida, The Nature Conservancy is offering a training program in cooperation with the School of Natural Resources and Environment and the UF Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences.
The Natural Areas Training Academy is designed for public and private resource managers. Those who complete a series of five workshops earn a Certificate in Natural Areas Management from the academy. This certification has been adopted by five Florida counties as a basic qualification for land management work. The workshops have been endorsed by the Natural Areas Association and used as a template to establish nationwide standards for conservation land management training.
The academy training program is also supported by the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission and the Florida Park Service, which may make the training a basic requirement for managers in the state park system.
