Q & A
Samuel Hoffe

My Blog
Hometown:
St. John’s, NL
What conservation issue is closest to your heart?
I’ve spent so much time in and around rivers so fluvial ecosystems are especially important to me, specifically the issues and pressures that our native fish species are facing.
What are you hoping to learn from CCC?
Ultimately, I think this experience will help clarify the direction I’d like my career/life to take by learning about different conservation initiatives across Canada. Meeting new people and being exposed to new perspectives is something I’m also looking forward to.
Who/what inspired you to care about conservation?
I think fly-fishing is where it started, but it wasn’t until I began volunteering with Trout Unlimited Canada and getting to know their biologists that I started to seriously consider conservation as something I could pursue.
If you could sit down with anyone in the world and have tea or coffee, who would it be? And why?
Although a stiff drink with D.B. Cooper is tempting, I would opt for Lee Wulff. His contributions to the sport of fly-fishing and fisheries conservation are seemingly endless but maybe most notably, he was a pioneer of catch and release angling. He helped establish and manage numerous environmental organizations and was one of the first people to advocate for the formation of Gros Morne National Park. He’s also an interesting character because as a Stanford engineering grad, he decided to instead pursue a career as an artist before shifting his focus to Atlantic salmon conservation. Above all else though, he was a legendary outdoorsman and the epitome of an environmental steward.

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.

Conservation Field Learning

Stage 2

Location: Ucluelet, BC

Hosting Organization: Pacific Rim National Park

Description:
• Invasive Species removal, data entry, possible GPS/GIS work, surveys
• During wetter weather, inside working on maps
• Monitoring animal cameras, field tech work, data storage form cameras, walking trails and updating signage
• Public outreach involving wildlife/people relationships

Timeline: March 22 – June 14
