My Summer Experience as a Field Technician with ACAP
I began my position as a field technician with ACAP in early June of this year. I had followed their Instagram account and kept up with their work for several years, and I was excited to get out into nature and hopefully make a difference in my community. Though I had worked several biology-related jobs since graduating two years ago, I had yet to work directly in my hometown of Saint John.
My Internship with ACAP Saint John: Giving Back to the Community
From August 2022 to March 2023, I held the climate change communications intern position at ACAP Saint John. This has been a professional and personal experience for me since my family has roots in Rothesay, although most of them now live in Quebec. Being back in Saint John and working at ACAP brings back many memories from my childhood of this area. During the internship, I have had the opportunity to take part in many different activities including native tree plantings and maintenance, gardening, community cleanups, Saint John Harbour monitoring (of water quality, fish, and seals.), and classroom education.
