We’re pleased to share a collection of student stories from the UBC Faculty of Forestry’s Co-op Program. Current undergraduates in programs such as Bioeconomy Sciences & Technology, Conservation, Forest Management, Forest Operations, Forest Sciences, Urban Forestry and Wood Products are getting hands-on experience across the spectrum of the forestry sector. These short features give a genuine snapshot of what a co-op work-term looks like: the projects students take on, the industries and workplaces they engage with, and the real-world impact they’re making. Whether you’re a student considering the Co-op path, an employer looking to hire, or simply curious about the future of forestry careers — these stories are well worth a read.
