It truly takes all kind of people working together as a team to accomplish Environment and Natural Resources's (ENR) forest management mandate. Another word for mandate is "mission'. ENR's mission is broad and the land area it is responsible for is large. All ENR employees need to be able to work together, to carry out this mission.

Many of the employees featured here have skills, talents, and knowledge that they brought with them or gained on the job. They hold various positions with ENR and carry out various forest management duties. There are Forest Officers, Renewable Resource Officers, and Foresters among some of the many careers in ENR.

Whatever their backgrounds though, all have one thing in common, they have participated in post- secondary education opportunities in order to increase their knowledge and effectiveness as resource managers and to attain their career goals. Education makes the difference!

We encourage all students to read over these profiles - this may help those desiring to work in the field of renewable resources and particularly forest management to select the appropriate post- secondary education programs.
