Forest Resources Management

Forestry Summer Student – Lil’wat Forestry Ventures

I have been working as part of the Silvicultural surveying crew at Lil’wat Forestry Ventures. We have been focusing on the type of surveys that monitor the health and growing condition of forest blocks that have been treated in some way, including through burnings, logging, plantings, brushing, etc. I have learned a lot about this process from start to finish.

Co-op Student – Bureau Veritas

I have been working as part of a soil processing department at Bureau Veritas in British Columbia. My role involves processing samples provided by clients, weighing them to one gram, and then diluting the samples with chemicals like nitric and hydrochloric acid.

Co-op Student – City of Campbell River

During my first co-op term this summer, I joined the Liquid Waste Services Department at the City of Campbell River on Vancouver Island, where I observed and learned about the department’s equipment, technologies and relevant regulations and policies governing wastewater management.
