Happy Alberta Forest Week!
We’re celebrating the people, places, and passion that make Alberta’s forests so important.
Stay tuned to our stories this week to hear directly from forestry professionals—and take part in some myth-busting as they separate fact from fiction in the world of forestry!
#AlbertaForestWeek #ForestryCareers #WorkWild
Students from Ponoka Secondary Trades Exploration class toured the West Fraser Laminated Veneer Lumber Mill in Rocky Mountain House this week. Students got to hear about trades career pathways from forestry professionals and see how LVL is made!
We had a fantastic time engaging with our next leaders in forestry at @insideeducation ’s Regenerate conference in Canmore this past weekend!🌲⚡️
We hosted our workshop as students took on our Forest Planning Challenge to get a taste of what it’s like to coordinate with other stakeholders to sustainably manage a forest. Students then stopped by our roundtable to explore more about what forestry careers have to offer.
Teachers and students! Keep your eye out for the next Regenerate summit, and don’t miss out on this inspiring and insightful weekend.

As we celebrate Earth Month this April, let's talk about some of the vital forestry jobs that keep our environment thriving. One of those key jobs is a hydrologist.
To a hydrologist, water is life! To be a water expert means using your scientific and mathematical knowledge to explore water-related concepts and manage the harmonious relationship between forests & water💧📊
If you're interested in studying streams and other water sources, this could be the perfect job for you!

What does a career in forestry look like?
We asked Doug, a Registered Professional Forester! Doug is an Operations Supervisor who brings 200-year forest management plans to life.
He explained that there is a diverse array of jobs in forestry and lots of opportunities in which you can chart your career path.
