Over the past decade, more than 27,000 students have been part of NRTG programs. And behind every number, there’s a story of impact.

Knowledge shared in the field.
New paths taken.
Work happening behind the scenes to make it all possible.

This post is a continuation, a look at more of the people who make NRTG what it is today. 🙌

Thank you for being part of this journey. The first 10 years are only the beginning.

Meet the people behind the trainings (Part 2)

We saw too many students learning theory, without ever gaining the real-world experience employers were looking for.

The gap between education and the field was clear. So we reimagined training to be hands-on, accessible, and built for the real world. 🎯

This is what it looks like now.

This is what a decade of impact looks like.

In 10 years, over 27,000 students have stepped into the field through NRTG trainings.

Happy 10 years of protecting lands, waters, and communities, every single day.

🔟 years ago, NRTG began with a simple but powerful idea: education should do more than inform, it should transform.

What started as a response to a gap in traditional education has grown into something much bigger: a community of passionate instructors, dedicated team members, and thousands of students who are now protecting the lands, waters, and communities we all depend on.

Over the past decade, over 25,000 students have taken part in NRTG programs. But what truly defines this journey is the impact behind each one.

The instructors sharing knowledge in the field.
The students stepping into new paths.
The team making it all happen behind the scenes.

This post is for them: the people who built NRTG into what it is today. 🙌

Thank you for being part of the journey. These first 10 years are just the beginning.

Environmental careers are built on what you can do

Environmental careers are built on what you can do in the field.

That’s why hands-on experience is no longer optional, it’s non-negotiable.

👉 What’s something you only learned once you got into the field?

There’s a growing need for people who know how to observe, understand, and protect the land.

Our Land Guardian Program is a 5-week, fully online program focused on building practical skills you can actually use in the field, from monitoring wildlife and ecosystems to reporting and environmental protection.

It’s hands-on, scenario-based, and built to prepare you for real-world roles like environmental monitor, technician, or land guardian.
