Futures Lab offers a learner-centered, hands-on experience that complements the learning at a Poudre School District student's home high school campus. Courses at the Lab support college and career readiness by allowing students the opportunity to deepen their learning, develop in-demand career skills, and earn industry-recognized credentials so they can graduate prepared to succeed in a changing world. Natural Resource Management is a half-day pathway at Futures Lab and does not require any previous experience. This new pathway at Futures Lab will introduce students to the fundamentals of forestry and Colorado wildlife through a mix of classroom and outdoor learning. Students will learn the principles of drendrology, forest science, and forest fire behavior. Field activities to various locations are included to enhance the students' understanding of Colorado native birds, insects, reptiles, amphibians, mammals and fish. Open to all high school students within Poudre School District boundaries!
