Alumnx

Gone but always in our hearts! We are excited to see the amazing steps our alumnx have taken once they've finished their time with us.

Nihan Harman (MSc: 2021)

Thesis: Managing soil seed banks and pre-treating seeds to enhance rangeland restoration
Next steps: Turkish Ministry of Environment and Urbanization

Cole Lysgaard (MA: 2022)

Thesis: Invasive species removal and changing fire regimes in a lək̓ʷəŋən oak ecosystem
Next steps: Forest Service Rocky Mountain Research Station
We work on the traditional territories of the lək̓ʷəŋən peoples. The Songhees and Esquimalt, as well as the W̱SÁNEĆ peoples have deep, historical relationships with the land that continue to this day. Most of our group are uninvited settlers here. We are committed to deepening our understanding of how we can assist in the movement of reconciliation, dismantling the systems that continue to cause harm, and honoring the traditional stewards that have shaped this land.
