Canada has an exciting future in the forest and conservation sector! The sector offers rewarding careers with competitive pay, diverse career paths, and opportunities to work in nature while contributing to nature-based solutions for a more sustainable planet. With a retiring workforce and estimates predicting up to 400,000 new jobs in Canada by 2030 as the country shifts to net-zero emissions, now is the perfect time to start your career in forestry.
If a career in the forest sounds like it’s for you, or you’re looking to continue your journey in the sector, then PLT Canada has exciting opportunities for you this fall, including a Workforce-Ready Webinar Series and an Ontario Virtual Career Fair!
