The Nation has experienced an increase in environmental regulation, clean-up activities, mitigation, restoration, and recycling efforts.
Because of this, we have seen an increase in opportunities in environmentally related occupations.
Employment of environmental technicians is expected to grow much faster than the average; these workers will be needed to help
regulate waste products; to collect air, water, and soil samples for measuring levels of pollutants; to monitor compliance with
environmental regulations; and to clean up contaminated sites.
Environmental cleanup companies have technician positions that require multiple certifications in Occupational Health and Safety
courses such as: Hazwoper, Confined Space Entry, Hazard Communication (8hr), and climbing certification.

Forest and conservation technicians compile data on the size, content, and condition of forest
land. These workers usually work in a forest under the supervision of a forester, doing specific
tasks such as measuring timber, supervising harvesting operations, assisting in road building
operations, and locating property lines and features.
They also may gather basic information, such as data on populations of trees, disease and
insect damage, tree seedling mortality, and conditions that may pose a fire hazard. In addition,
forest and conservation technicians train and lead forest and conservation workers in seasonal
activities, such as planting tree seedlings, and maintaining recreational facilities.

Increasing numbers of forest and conservation technicians work in urban forestry—the study of
individual trees in cities—and other nontraditional specialties, rather than in forests or rural areas.
