Hello again. It feels like summer is almost over, with only about one month left of the internship! Where does the time go?
I have spent the majority of this past week with Kyle Waterman, another intern, doing culvert inspections and center lining roads. Last Friday, we ran into some heavy rain in our adventure to find a road.

It has been over a month now that I have been on the Helitack crew, with each day bringing new experiences! As a member of Millar Western’s Helitack crew, I am responsible for forest fire protection of company interests, as well as many other side projects, giving me a very broad exposure of the forestry industry. My first day was certainly my most memorable to date.

My name is Connor Vale, and I am excited to now be a Green Dream Intern as well as part of the Millar Western team! My home is in Bowmanville, Ontario, and I am currently a student, studying toward a Bsc in Forestry at the University of British Columbia. My experiences thus far at Millar Western have been amazing, and I am very happy to accomplish what I had originally set out to do.
