The annual program hires students for seasonal positions to allow them the chance to get real-world work experience while enjoying the beautiful conservation areas that the SNC maintains. Students become familiar with the inner workings of a non-profit organization, maintaining forests and parks, and supporting natural hazard management and environmental outreach activities.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re proud give students hands on opportunities to work in their fields of study,\u201d said SNC\u2019s Managing Director, Property, Conservation Lands and Community Outreach, John Mesman. &#8220;Our talented local youth bring hard work and enthusiasm each summer and we\u2019re grateful for the support that they bring to the Conservation Authority.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>This year\u2019s crop of students included Shannon McRae, Natalie Fleece, Kyley McGuiness, Gabriel Giorgi, Mariane Scalise and Spencer Van Putten.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019ve gained valuable experience working at SNC,\u201d said Kyley McGuinness, who joined the SNC as an Invasive Species Summer Technician. McGuinness is now a 4th year student in Environmental Studies and Geography at Carleton University. \u201cMy favourite part of working at SNC is going out in the field for the day, connecting with nature and knowing the work I\u2019m doing is making a difference in the watershed.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWatching youth catch their first fish from the South Nation River was a highlight for me,\u201d said Shannon McRae, who coordinated Fish Camps this year. McRae is now a 4<sup>th<\/sup> year at Bishop\u2019s University, studying Biology with a concentration in Health Sciences. \u201cThe camps create opportunities for local kids to get outside during the summer, make new friends and learn how to fish responsibly.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe always look forward to welcoming summer students each year,\u201d said Mesman. \u201cWe hope their experiences and their time spent outdoors, stepping into nature, will help foster good environmental stewardship in the next generation of environmental leaders.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The SNC posts hiring ads on its Facebook page and in its newsletter at www.nation.on.ca\/subscribe.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Federal and provincial funding allowed the SNC to continue its summer learning program.
