Aaron Wilde & Alexa Fowler

ALBERTA — Two local youths have been immersed in the world of forestry this summer, and their experiences will be showcased through the Forest Products Association of Canada. In July, FPAC announced this year’s Green Dream Internship Program recipients, including Whitecourt’s Alexa Fowler and Aaron Wilde. Fowler said… “Before I got this job, I didn’t really understand what the forestry industry is like and didn’t understand what opportunities there are.” She attends the University of Lethbridge [and] is working at Millar Western. …Whitecourt’s other Green Dream recipient is Aaron Wilde, who is working with the Alberta Newsprint Company this summer. “After all that the environment has done for me, I am happy to work in the forestry industry and give back,” Wilde said. He is a second-year mechanical engineering student at the University of Alberta, according to FPAC.
