Summer Student; Lil’wat Forestry Ventures
I have been working as a summer student at Lil’wat Forestry Ventures. So far, I have done tree planting, various types of surveying, and will serve as a wildfire firefighter for the remaining weeks of this work term.
Working with LFV has given me the chance to step into the real forestry work environment, to see how Indigenous people combine traditional and modern methods to manage the forest and run a company.
This allowed me to apply my school knowledge in real-life situations, learn new skills, and meet many new people.
Throughout this experience, I have tried many new things, continually challenged myself, and discovered more about my potential.
