Abstract	The "Career Approach to Natural Resource Management in Wildlife and Recreation" program has completed its second year at Conrad Weiser High School in Robesonia, Pennsylvania. It is a vocational natural resources course designed to prepare workers in wildlife and recreation management, with strong emphasis on field study and/or "hands-on" experiences. Classroom activities are supplemented with a complete mechanics program; learning experiences are designed to provide skills to meet job entry requirements. In this report, general project evaluations and accomplishments are discussed in the areas of individual and group learner projects, camp owner-manager rating of skill areas of the natural resources curriculum, occupational outlook in recreation natural resources for the Pennsylvania area, instructor's evaluation of level of class achievement, and written test results on environmental attitude, school sentiment index, and cognitive knowledge of natural resources. Conclusions presented note that student achievement in projects completed and their improved test scores indicate a degree of program success; survey results presented indicate a need for persons with the skills acquired as a result of the program. Job placement and implications of program outcomes for the State are also discussed. Appendixes contain the recreation natural resources survey of camp owner-managers and the outline of the Conrad Weiser natural resources course of study in vocational agriculture. (TA)
