Kyle's journey
“We’re the enforcement part of the environmental sector. We’re the ones to make sure the rigorous planning and authorizations put into place are carried out as agreed to.”
Sierra's journey
“The practice of natural resource officers is client-focused. A miner came into our office and wanted to clarify a couple things in his permit. We sat down with him and I was able to explain to him not only the definitions of what the scientific terms were but also why they are important for ecosystem management. That was a rewarding experience.”
Rory's journey
“I’ve had the opportunity to gain a really well-rounded experience working here. Working as a natural resource officer is a job that you can really make your own. Plus, I love being outside – being in nature as much as we are fits me perfectly. It must be the way I’m wired!”
