- What conservation issue is closest to your heart?
- The issues in conservation that care the most about are nature being destroyed and many trees being cut down to create more room for buildings, malls, villages and cities. How there are many wild animals being killed for sport or being pushed further away from their natural habit because of building developments. How there is so much plastic in our environment that affects our wildlife.
- What are you hoping to learn from CCC?
- I’m expecting to learn more about the environment and wildlife. I’m excited to learn more about survival skills and how to preserve our natural resources.
- Who/what inspired you to care about conservation?
- I don’t really think there was someone specific who inspired me. I knew that helping wildlife and the environment was something I was always passionate about and think this career is the right path for me to do all the things I love.
- If you could sit down with anyone in the world and have tea or coffee, who would it be? And why?
- If I were to sit down with someone to learn more about conservation, it would be Jane Goodall because I admire her. I feel like we would have a lot in common about what we care for and are passionate about, helping wild animals.
My Experience So Far
Doing the Carleton
Stage 1
CCC Group 7’s exciting14-day outdoor expedition takes place in New Brunswick’s Mount Carleton area, which is an Appalachian wilderness region located mainly within Mount Carleton Provincial Park. Using a chalet base for introduction training, the course then leads CCC members on a snowshoe expedition with snowmobile support linking a network of backcountry rustic cabins. Training will cover a range of winter outdoor living skills. The training goals relate to outdoor leadership, environmental stewardship and backcountry competencies.
