The purpose of this summer project is to perform various environmental monitoring and data collection measures with the goal of caribou habitat enhancement. For this project, we are seeking two summer team members that are enrolled in post-secondary environmental-related programs — environmental science, forestry, geography, biology, etc.  Once the summer term is over, the opportunity may turn permanent.
