What conservation issue is closest to your heart?: I am very interested in prairie grassland conservation, the maintenance of wildlife corridors, and the impacts of agriculture on the environment.
What are you hoping to learn from CCC?: My expectations going into this adventure are to learn and grown.
Who/what inspired you to care about conservation?: I was inspired to start learning about conservation because I love owls.
If you could sit down with anyone in the world and have tea or coffee, who would it be? And why?: If I could, I would have coffee with Ellen Page. I really admire her for having the courage to fight for the things she believes in.

My Experience So Far

Rolling, Rolling...Rolling Down the River

Stage 1

Departing from Kozy Hollow Lodge (near Canterbury, NB), the 12th group of CCC participants head out on an expedition along part of an ancient portage trail that links the Chiputneticook Lakes to the Passamaquoddy Bay, canoeing a meandering route through the many small lakes and streams that dot the route. This area is known as a biodiversity hot spot where beaver lodges, moose, black bear and exceptional fishing are found, along with Class 1 and 2 rapids that increase the sense of adventure. Participants will experience pristine wilderness along the entire 130km route, winding up at Oak Bay Provincial Park on the Passamaquoddy Bay. It’s a trip of a lifetime and a great start to their Canadian Conservation Corps adventure.
