Worthwhile Hands-On Experiences
Each student in the Natural Resources Management Minor is encouraged to become involved and activities, including internships and study at approved biological stations. At these stations the student will be exposed to real-world natural resource management scenarios that will prepare him/her for a career in forest management, wildlife management, recreation and aesthetics management and floral and fauna management and protection.
Experts in the field will share professional and practical land management considerations with students who choose this minor and will share professional, practical and best management techniques and philosophies commonly used on Alabama's rural lands.
