Pamela grew up in rural northern Alberta. Much of her passion for the environment stemmed from growing up with her Métis and Ukrainian ancestry in experiencing both traditional and modern land use practices. She has a Degree in Environmental Management from University of Alberta Augustana Campus and a Diploma in Land Reclamation and Remediation from Olds College. With an academic background in conservation and stewardship, environmental education and ecology, and professional background in various sectors such as oil and gas, parks and recreation, laboratory/research, and non-for-profit organizations, this broad foundation of experience supports her passions to engage and collaborate with those seeking positive relationships with the environment through continued education, outreach and conservation/stewardship practices. Pamela is thrilled to be sharing experiences, stories of living on the land and connecting with youth, Elders, partners, communities and establishing lifelong relationships.
