Heather Shaw, Recreation, Fish & Wildlife
I learned quickly that being a backcountry ranger also means being a jack-of-all-trades, and I feel [Selkirk College] set me up perfectly for the position. My projects included conservation work, facility maintenance, infrastructure planning and development, report writing, enforcement, and public education.
