Hi, my name is Wade Turner. I’ve been attending North Georgia Technical College for five quarters. I am majoring in Environmental Science. The Environmental Technology program consists of specializations in Wildlife Resources, Fisheries Resources, and Water Quality. The wildlife and fisheries specializations meet the requirements of the Georgia Department of Natural Resources. Since attending North Georgia Technical College, I have held a technician job at Lake Burton Fish Hatchery. I’ve also worked several quota hunts on WMAs aging white-tailed deer. The classroom environment gives you a hands-on approach to fieldwork. The fieldwork includes such thing as: setting animal traps, spotlight surveys, mast surveys, and participating in deer shoot-downs. We also have an aquaculture facility on campus in which we raise out a variety of fish species. I strongly urge anyone who enjoys the outdoors to come and join us in this great learning environment.

The Environmental Science program allows the students to participate in hands on studies in the field. I enjoy being in the environment I am learning about. Learning this way helps me to understand the concepts I am being taught and puts them into context. North Georgia Tech was a great fit for me.
