Program description
The Seneca College King Campus is situated within a wetland complex of provincial importance, and its watershed contributes significantly to the Humber Rivers, which are themselves a component of the Canadian Heritage Rivers System. Outdoor instruction for this special two-year diploma course will take place primarily on this property.
You will learn about the ecosystem, different types of traditional landscaping, useful skills, and the human effect on the environment so that you can take steps to preserve and restore natural landscapes.
