Natural Resources Management Training

Natural resource biologists and managers continually need access to new knowledge, skills, and technologies in their efforts to protect and enhance our nation's resources. The Biological Resources Discipline (BRD), USGS (formerly the National Biological Service), through the Fort Collins Science Center (FORT), helps to meet this need by offering a special selection of natural resources management courses. Some are instructed courses and are scheduled throughout the year at various locations. Others are available as correspondence courses and independent study, providing the participants the flexibility to work and learn at their own pace.

Eligibility

The courses are open to individuals from federal, state, and local governments; universities; private businesses; and foreign governments.
