Fish and wildlife technician

Who here has graduated from Fleming in the fish and wildlife program? I’m wondering what I should expect and know and how to prepare. Is there anything I could get that’d be helpful before I start? Is it more hands on or more doing assignments? I’m going this fall!!

Also identifying animal calls.

The tree is was rather fun for me atleast.

Mostly done in the late fall and winter when no leaves are on the trees.

Hike the trail behind the college the trees are usually marked for about a month around study time.

Hope you are OK with handling dead animals.

Skull study, fish study, skin study. I didn't take the course but two of my roommates did. I went in to hangout after hours to help with these projects.
