Books & CDs

As with most everything today, the most up-to-date information is usually available on the Internet. However, a few good books pertaining to outdoor careers with excellent descriptions about natural resource related employment are still available. The International Society of Arboriculture also produces a useful CD-ROM full of information about careers in urban/community forestry, as well as other careers in arboriculture.
