When first applying for this position, I had no idea what to expect. New forest, first forestry job, none of my usual comforts acquired through my last 8 years on Vancouver Island. Needless to say, I was all nerves….Would my university education actually prepare me for the industry (a huge concern for many university students!)? Would I actually like it?

I am all done my training and officially started my job! Yay! My job this summer is to check the quality of the trees that planters (contractors hired by Millar Western) put into the ground. This is the first time I have ever been looking over other people’s work, which is a huge responsibility, because their pay is determined by the quality of the planting.

To open this series of blog posts I would like to thank Daishowa-Marubeni (DMI) and the green dream work force for this excellent learning opportunity in the forestry sector. Just last semester I completed my third year of chemical engineering and I am now working at DMI in the technical department of their pulp mill from May to the end of August.

Hi I’m Brooke and I will be completing my Green Dream internship with Weyerhaeuser Timberlands in Grande Prairie, Alberta. It’s hard to believe I’m already headed into week 2 up here; everything’s been a whirlwind of activity between leaving Ontario and getting settled up here in Alberta. Flying on my own was a new experience in itself on top of moving to a location where you literally know no one.
