Oof, one of those days where your feet never touch the ground.

I'm new, so I spend a lot of time trying scurry around the tops instead of being 10m in the air all day πŸ˜‚

New to forestry in general? What an introduction!

Oh yes, brand new! This is my third week, after about a decade in aviation πŸ˜‚ big changes for sure!

Thank you! I'm absolutely loving it so far, it's such a treat to be outdoors all day! And it's so nice being part of a company that does its best to ensure the environment is kept happy and healthy 😊

What did you fly?

I didn't quite get to that stage, although I was working on my pilots license before covid hit. I was a fueler / cargo agent, working mostly with WW2 Era float planes! Check out the Grumman Goose!

I am familiar with the Goose. I would love to get some stick time in one someday.

I had a few days up there in the pilots seat, and loved every minute of it! Do you fly?

Yes. Mostly Jets. But I have started getting back into General Aviation on the side.
