Horticulture/Recreation

Horticulture and Outdoor Recreation covers a lot of ground in careers relating to commercial landscaping, food-based hydroponics, arboriculture (tree care), forestry, canoeing, outdoor survival, hunting, fishing, and guiding. A strong emphasis is placed on current “best practices” of maintaining, working in, and enhancing the environment.

Our campus greenhouses, hydroponics/training laboratories, school grounds, Bangor City Parks and Forest, local streams, rivers, and ponds offer you interesting ways to learn about plant identification, hydroponic food production, forestry practices, tree care operations, canoeing, fish, and wildlife management, guiding and much more. Topic areas include landscaping, hydroponics, chainsaw usage and maintenance, tree climbing techniques, canoeing, wilderness survival, fishing, climbing, and orienteering.
