My Pathway

My planned path through the field of forestry

Lily Newman
 Step 1: University
My Program, and Where I’m Going..
The first step on my journey to working in the forestry field is getting a
bachelor's degree that is approved by the FPBC (Forest Professionals of
British Columbia) board.
I have been accepted into The University of British Columbia to work
towards a Bachelor of Science with a major in Forest Ecology and
Management and a Minor in Animal Conservation.
This is not only an improved course by the FPBC but also a highly
accredited one. UNBC is particularly known for its ecology programs, and
because it is located in a town built on logging, you can make many
connections there.
University Details
Length of my Program and Admission Requiremnts

I will need four years to complete my bachelor's degree. I plan to move to

Prince George in December and start attending classes in January 2025.

I have gotten a conditional acceptance from The University of Northern BC,

so I must complete the last two classes in order to be fully accepted. These
last two classes are Chemistry 11 and Career Life Education 12. I am
making good progress in both of these classes, and I'm on the path to
getting them both done by June.

Other than the last 2 classes I needed to complete, my 90% average was
more than enough to get me into the school. My average, paired with having
all of the required classes I was able to get accepted into the school.

of me owning a vehicle there.
 Why I’m Interested in Forestry
All of my interests can be traced back to nature. My favourite subjects in school have always been biology and ecology, which
will be extremely relevant, too. My hobbies include hiking and camping, and I want to live a lifestyle that lets me live, work, and
play in the outdoors. I believe forestry has a future as a sustainable business, and I want to be a positive voice within the
industry.
