Forestry Technology (190.B0) is a three-year, six-session Diploma of College Studies (DEC) offered at Cegep de Sainte-Foy, with intake in the Fall term only. The program trains forest technologists in sustainable forest management and ecosystem protection, developing competencies in silviculture, human and material resource management, communication, and professional ethics alongside forestry-specific technical skills. Coursework covers forest-resource production and conservation, supervision of forestry operations, data collection, harvest planning, infrastructure maintenance, compliance with intervention standards, and advising private forest owners, supported by more than 60 field outings across varied ecosystems. Graduates work in public and parapublic forestry organizations, private forest-management groups, wood-producer associations, engineering firms, research centres, and forestry cooperatives. Students should budget roughly $330 per session for transportation and lodging tied to field activities, and about $500 for protective equipment such as boots, a helmet, and snowshoes in the first year.
