C’est le septième billet de blogue que j’écris et le dernier. Je tiens alors à remercier la FPAC et tous ceux qui m’ont supporté cet été.
Cet été a passé remarquablement rapidement. J’ai encore l’impression qu’il n’y a pas si longtemps, il y avait encore au moins un mois devant moi. Aujourd’hui, il ne reste qu’une semaine avant le début des cours.

This summer I’ve been talking to you guys a lot about forestry practices mostly relating to the development and reforestation of cut blocks, which leaves out one BIG part of the industry.

With the summer coming to a close and the impending school year looming over us, I thought I would take the opportunity to talk a little about the Forest Technology program at NAIT. Our program is all about practical application. This is evident right from the get-go when our first five weeks of class are done from cabins in the middle of the Albertan wilderness called Kidney Lake.

I’ve decided to do something a little bit different this week, and write a Shakespearian Sonnet about woodland animals. I made every stanza about a different animal. All but one of these animals I have seen while working in the woods here this summer. The only one I haven’t seen here while in the woods, I have seen plenty of activity from and have seen in person in other places in Canada ( I did see one from the helicopter this summer).
