No two days are ever the same...

Today you could be building hiking trails for public recreation – tomorrow, touring the forest from the front seat of a helicopter. As a crew member you will participate in hands-on work-projects, earn certifications though training and meet professionals in the field.

Away from home or in your community...

Junior Forest Rangers live and work in the outdoors away from home – this means building your own bed and sleeping in a tent. Aboriginal Junior Forest Rangers live at home and work in the outdoors – you will learn more about your community and aboriginal heritage. Whatever program you choose, you will face similar challenges, work experiences and endless fun.
