Q & A
Danea Gauthier-Wiebe

What conservation issue is closest to your heart?
I believe the conservation issue that is closest to my heart is that of the effect of climate change on developing communities. In every country – including our own – certain communities are more at risk from climate change. Proper conservation of their land and the resources they rely on is crucial.
What are you hoping to learn from CCC?
I’m going in with an open mind and open spirit, but I imagine I will learn a lot about conservation in a much more hands-on manner than ever before, as well as learn about myself and what I see for myself as a future career.
Who/what inspired you to care about conservation?
I’ve always been really passionate about the environment, from a young age I knew I wanted to do something that would help our planet – which is why I chose to study Environmental Sciences. I loved it from the very first class and knew it was the right field for me. I don’t think I can pinpoint a specific thing or person as it’s just something I was always drawn
If you could sit down with anyone in the world and have tea or coffee, who would it be? And why?
I would say Jane Goodall. I had the wonderful opportunity to listen to Jane speak when she came to my university a couple of years ago. Listening to her speak of her experiences and her projects was so inspirational. I can only image what it would be like to sit across from her and have a one-on-one conversation.

My Experience So Far

Stage 1

The Group 8 adventure begins in Kenauk Reserve in Montebello, Quebec. These Canadian Conservation Corps members will be learning backpacking skills and basic paddling skills before heading out to traverse the forests and waterways of the rugged Quebec wilderness area. Their training will cover a wide range of outdoor living skills that incorporate outdoor leadership, environmental stewardship and back country competencies. As always, they’ll be learning the benefits of teamwork and having a whole lot of fun!

Conservation Field Learning

Stage 2

Location: Mont-Saint-Hilaire, Québec

Hosting Organization: McGill University

Description: The Gault Nature Reserve, owned by McGill University, is located at Mont-Saint-Hilaire and protects more than 1,000 hectares of natural forest. CCC placements will be engaged in a variety of activities, including the reinstallation of the greenhouse in the research sector, equipment maintenance and data download from field sensors (weather station), trail maintenance and surveys, vegetation surveys, scientific outreach and public tours/hikes.

Timeline: June 7 – Aug 30
