This internationally ecologically important place is a limited commodity with limited use capacity. Not many people get to experience the Chilcotins and those who do take responsibility for their impact and the well-being of it. Through our internships, we provide a unique opportunity for students to not only develop and grow professionally, but at the same time contribute to something bigger than themselves.
