One of our three pillars is Education. We are thrilled to extend our projects and collaborations with organizations with Wildsight - Youth Climate Corps. Below is a shout out from Wildsight sharing a few insights from our project with them held this May 2025.
"Pumps & hoses & chainsaws, oh my! The East and West Kootenay Youth Climate Corps teams came together in Creston to complete training for their Basic Fire Suppression and Safety certificate and Basic Chainsaw Safety course, conducted by Loki Tree Service.
This training equipped the crew with skills for their wildfire risk reduction project taking place in the Creston Community Forest this May, as well as skills for future environmental careers!
The crew loved getting out into the forest and getting some hands-on training and knowledge on fire behaviour, chainsaw handling, pump layouts, and more!"
