Chase’s Keegan Ashley will be living the dream this summer as one of five students to win a 2024 Green Dream Internship in forestry from the Forest Products Association of Canada. The program highlights the perspectives and experiences of students working in the forest sector for six weeks. Winners also receive a $1,000 scholarship for further education. Ashley, who is with the Interfor Adams Lake Division, will use social media to share his insights and create content that provides a unique look at his summer experiences. …”Keegan’s passion for the forest industry is rooted in his family history, which spans more than 100 years in the sector,” the company said on Instagram. “He plans to pursue a career in either manufacturing or the woodlands sector. Through the Green Dream Internship, Keegan hopes to share his journey and promote the opportunities the industry holds for young workers and students like himself.”
