Mosaic Forest Management Green Jobs Youth  Talk Tech, Biodiversity, and Forestry

Mosaic Forest Management employed six Green Jobs students this summer in British Columbia. These summer students worked in the great outdoors and used some of the cutting-edge technology that keeps Canada’s forest sector at the forefront of innovation. Congratulations to Mosaic and to these exceptional youth for a successful summer, developing practical new skills and for learning more about forests and sustainability!
