It’s over! I can’t believe how fast this summer flew by. It seems they get faster and faster every year. This summer was full of so many new experiences, such as fire fighting, silviculture surveys, helicopter rides, timber cruising; the list could go on. I am so thankful for the new friends I made and I hope we all cross paths again soon!

Hello everyone! Today was my last bush day of the summer! My remaining two days are office days and clean up days. It’s unbelievable this is almost over. I’ve had such a great summer and am beyond relieved I expanded my comfort zone by taking this out-of-town position. Silviculture was a lot of fun, and I developed a huge interest in it.

Interviews

I decided to use this blog entry as a more thorough way of learning about my office co-workers. I learned they all have a good sense of humor, but no talent in writing poetry. I’m also not sure if I realized how young I am, or how old these office people are. I interviewed 10 employees and asked them the same series of questions.

Just a heads up: hopefully you’re not hungry before reading this, because you’re about to get hungrier!

In case you didn’t gather from my last blog: I like to eat. I love trying new restaurants and *most* things. I’ve really been enjoying the local restaurants in Quesnel and its surrounding communities. I love how the restaurants here are family owned and not chains.

Hello again! I cannot believe we are approaching the end of July. We only have 5 more weeks of work left. It’s crazy how fast time is going by this summer; it’s hard to imagine I’ll be nose deep in my studies in about 6 weeks time.

I promised I’d focus a bit on some Quesnel/Cariboo tourism, so I’m choosing to blog about “Billy Barker Days” this time around.

Hello all, and welcome to the third round of blog entries! For those of you who didn’t see, us Quesnel bloggers (Matthew, Alex and I) got interviewed for the local newspaper.

Hello, again!

So, by the time this gets posted, my summer will be officially half way over (where does time go?!).

BUT, I am SO excited to share: I OFFICIALLY SAW MY FIRST GRIZZLY!!! (See attached video). It was literally the coolest thing I have ever seen. I looked down into the block from the road,

I’d like to start out by saying hello to all my readers! Whether you are in the forest industry or not (and if you’re not, I’ll try not to confuse you too bad), your time to stay involved in my summer is greatly appreciated.

Before I begin, I should introduce myself a little more. My name is Kayla Brock,
