Mary Englezos (Forest Sciences)

August 21, 2024 | Author: Matthew

Community Education Team Leader; Salmon Habitat Restoration Program (SHaRP)

Mary presenting at her co-op term with SHaRP

For my first co-op work term this summer I have had the opportunity to be a part of the SHaRP (Salmon Habitat Restoration Program) team as a Community Education Team Leader.

Throughout the summer, I have planned community events, day camps and booths to educate and engage community members about our environmental work to improve salmon habitats in the City of Surrey.

This has been an incredible opportunity to deliver engaging educational content about ways that urban environments can affect salmon habitats, and about the amazing salmon populations we have in British Columbia!

I have also had opportunities to do field work including invasive plant removals and stream enhancements, improving my understanding of environmental restoration work with hands-on experience.

This work term has helped me develop skills in community engagement, teamwork as well as plant and fish ID.
