This curriculum guide was developed to provide a model plan to help public high schools and area vocational-technical schools to initiate, or evaluate and improve, natural resource occupational preparation programs. It offers a curriculum plan which can be modified to meet particular needs and objectives which are career education oriented. This guide provides unit outlines on air, fish, forestry, land use planning, minerals and mineral fuels, range, recreation, soil, water, and wildlife with suggested behavioral objectives, learning activities, and references; a sequence of career education efforts; discussion of occupational opportunities, faculty, student services, and the library and its use. Briefly discussed are the facilities and equipment needed. Appended are three lists of text and reference books, audiovisual aids, and professional and technical societies and organizations concerned with natural resources. (Author/BP)
