HOW TO BECOME A SURVEYOR

Surveyors typically need a bachelor’s degree. They must be licensed before they can provide surveying services to the public and certify legal documents.

Surveyors who are not licensed can work as survey technicians, but they must work under the supervision of licensed surveyors.

Important Qualities

Communication skills. On the job, surveyors have to give team members clear instructions. After the work in the field is done, surveyors must be able to explain the job’s progress to developers, lawyers, financiers, or government authorities.

Detail oriented. Surveyors must work with precision and accuracy because mistakes can be costly.

Interpersonal skills. Surveying is a cooperative operation, so surveyors must be able to work well on a team.

Listening skills. Surveyors receive instructions from designers, such as architects, and they must listen carefully. They also depend on others on their team and must allow team members to respond as needed. They are often required to interview land owners about land boundaries and then interpret this information to resolve land boundary issues.

Physical stamina. Surveyors traditionally work outdoors and often in rugged terrain. They must have the ability to stand on their feet for many hours and over many weeks.

Problem-solving skills. Surveyors must figure out discrepancies between documents showing property lines and current conditions on the land. If there have been changes in previous years, they must figure out why the changes occurred so that property lines can be reestablished.

Time-management skills. Surveyors must be able to plan not only their time on the job but also that of their team members. This is critical when there are pressing deadlines or while working outside during winter months when daylight hours are short.

RESTORATION ECOLOGY

Restoration ecology is the scientific study and practice of renewing and restoring degraded, damaged, or destroyed ecosystems and habitats in the environment by active human intervention and action, within a short time frame. Restoration ecology emerged as a separate field in ecology in the 1980s.

The Society for Ecological Restoration defines ecological restoration as an "intentional activity that initiates or accelerates the recovery of an ecosystem with respect to its health, integrity and sustainability". The practice of ecological restoration includes wide scope of projects including: erosion control, reforestation, the use of genetically local native species, removal of non-native species and weeds, revegetation of disturbed areas, reintroduction of native species, as well as habitat and range improvement for targeted species.

The process of ecological restoration is unique in land management perspectives, in that the goal is to restore the original or historic native ecosystem of a site, utilizing local native plant species, excluding exotic plants, and to restore the ecosystem to a self-sustainable state, within a certain amount of time.

The aspect of time and performance standards as part of the definition of ecological restoration, has been controversial since the invention of this new profession—that projects should be completed within a short amount of time, and that the percentage cover of the local native vegetation should be as close to 100% as possible, with less than 1% weed cover.
