It’s finally Happened! We got to fly into a fire! Many people would see this an odd thing to be excited about and I am in no way saying forest fires are a good thing however; it was a very exciting moment for my crew and I because we were finally able to use all our training on the real deal and see where our strengths and weaknesses are within the crew and how we can become better for next time.

Well another two weeks have flown by and here I am sitting at my computer trying to recall all that I have accomplished in what seems like a mere matter of days. As I noted in my last blog, this summer internship is passing by in a blink of an eye and I can hardly believe it’s nearly July. A part of me is enjoying the fact that working and being here in Saskatchewan means the days do not drag by,

After a long couple weeks of waiting for forest fires in Millar Western’s FMA near Whitecourt, Alberta we were given a much needed dose of rain which gave us the opportunity to try out new things. The task handed down to me and my crew was the setup of Millar Western’s Mountain Pine Beetle monitoring program. This program was established in order to monitor Mountain Pine Beetle populations in Millar Western’s various log yards and other areas within the FMA.

Hello everyone and welcome back. First off, I would like to thank Green Dream for the sponsorship and hope that I can do my part to do everyone proud. Your investments in my fellows and I are aiding us to become better people, and to help raise us up to be able to take the mantle in the near future.

First and foremost, an immense thank you to FPAC and the Green Dream scholarship for providing me with this opportunity! And congratulations to all my fellow winners.
Now onto my newest internship adventures; originally there was truly nothing I disliked about Weyerhaeuser or my job in general for that matter… I think that has changed. THE BUGS. I’ve been given a project to replace a gigantic diesel engine that pumps all our “raw water” from the river up to the mill.
