James’s inspiration to work at SFI was being able to fill a role where he provides Forest education to anyone and everyone who wants to learn more about the natural world around them. James has a Masters of Science in Forestry from Lakehead University as well as being a Registered Professional Forester, ISA certified arborist, Managed Forest Plan Approver and is the Vice Chair for his regional Canadian Institute of Forestry Section.
