Overview

Graduate Certificate - Conservation and Environmental Law Enforcement

In this program, the mandate is to prepare field-ready, entry-level conservation and environmental law enforcement officers. You can really make a difference. 

This is a challenging program with a heavy workload that is intended for serious students entering a competitive field.

Conservation and Environmental Law Enforcement is about regulating the use of natural resources, and accountability for activities that have an adverse effect on the environment

Examples of regulated activities include fishing, hunting, logging, aggregate extraction, alteration of fish habitat, the use of public land, and the discharge of pollutants.

This one-year, two-semester post-graduate program at Fleming College will prepare you for a variety of positions in the field, with a well-rounded selection of courses offering a good blend of practice and theory. 

You will be trained in such areas of study as procedural law, fish and wildlife enforcement, lands and environmental law, investigation techniques, forensics, and conflict management and avoidance. 

In your first semester, your learning will be enhanced through a fall camp, situated in a wilderness setting.
