Laura's Bio

We have our roots in forest education, which brought Laura to our door. Laura is an impressive and competent educator, completing her double Masters in both environmental management at UNB, and science in forestry and agriculture at the University of Eastern Finland.

She is a leader, mentor and teacher in both team sports and the classroom. Laura brings a unique perspective and depth of experience to our part of the woods.

Kat's Bio

Kat (she/her) hails from Calgary and spends most weekends hiking, camping, riding horses, or cross country skiing!

Inspired by the enjoyment of the outdoors and her passion for the environment, she attended Lakehead University and received an Honours Bachelor of Outdoor Recreation where she studied accessible recreation, expedition management, and rural tourism.

Kat loves teaching about wetlands and watersheds especially, so be ready to nerd out about aquatic invertebrates if you give her the chance.
