    Canada - Work Experience - Wildlife/Rangeland
    I'm intending on spending next summer out in Canada anyway... but thought I might try and look for a place to volunteer at (if accommodation is included).

    I have qualifications, and the work experience would allow me to gain contacts out there in the industry (my dream job is park ranger or researcher or something along those lines) as well as go towards work experience I need for the rest of my degree.

    Anyone know of any places?

    I'm doing as much searching as I can fit, and have found a government site that helps with these things, as well as a wolf conversation site in North USA. But it's British Columbia/Alberta that I'm aiming for.

    Volunteerbanff.ab.ca ? Claims to have an international volunteer programme since it's trying to hire a coordinator for it.

    Horse riding is dead dangerous out there... The xgf broke her arm when her horse saw a bear and threw her off... Could have been her neck tbh. She was riding the horse because she was too cowardly to come white water rafting... Which is of course as safe as houses.
    Suppose you better google the national parks with 'volunteer' e.g. Pacific rim
