Pros

Working as a Trails Technician with the SCA was an incredible experience; I got loads of meaningful training including ATV riding, chainsaw use, first aid, hand and power tool use, and gained lifelong friends and support during my time there. I highly recommend joining the SCA to explore conservation careers.

Cons

Sometimes the ADP work tracker didn't really work, and it was difficult to input the hours you work accurately. The pay is low, considering it's an internship and all.
