Diploma in Land and Water Management

Assiniboine’s two-year Land and Water Management diploma program prepares graduates for careers in land reclamation, environmental stewardship and rural planning emphasizing environmentally sustainable land management practices.
Students learn to work with landowners and other stakeholders to balance the realities of preferred land uses with conservation principles, environmental remediation and environmental monitoring. Learning and assessing how soils and water, alongside plants and animals, impact an ecosystem and its diversity and health sets the stage for the program capstone projects. The capstone has students working with industry partners to find solutions to specific local environmental challenges in balance with the land uses in that area.
