I have been working as a summer student in the Sunshine Coast Community Forest in Sechelt. I learned a lot this summer. As a summer student, I mainly focus on forest layout and forest planning, timber cruising, recreation and habitat restoration, and fire hazard assessment. From my perspective, I received more clear career goals and had more chances to put my class understanding of forests into reality. Also, I built strong connections with the community while working on the Sunshine Coast. I tried different types of forest work this summer. I am really grateful to have this opportunity and good experience in the Sunshine Coast Community Forest and to meet really wonderful people. I really spent a good summer time throughout this job.
