Hi, my name is Lauren. I just moved to PEI from Nova Scotia where I recently graduated from StFX University with my bachelor of Aquatic Resources and Public Policy. I love all things outdoors, particularly fly fishing and hiking. I have previously worked as a Research Assistant and Habitat Restoration worker for other watershed groups. I am looking forward to learning more about the island and the Stratford watershed!
Summer Staff
Summer Staff
The Stratford Area Watershed Improvement Group (SAWIG) is very dedicated to the betterment of the watersheds in which we serve. Although we work diligently throughout the year on a wide variety of projects and programs, we do the majority of our outdoor, “boots in the field” work throughout May-September.
My name is Colin. It is my second year working at SAWIG, and I have prior watershed experience. I am going into my second year at Holland College for Environmental Applied Science Technology. My interests include: listening to music, and watching/playing sports.
Hi my name is Kurt, I live in Charlottetown. I'm in my last year at Holland College in the Wildlife Conservation Technology Program. I love working outdoors in the elements and seeing how my work helps maintain and enhance the natural environment. I am looking forward to working with the wonderful team at SAWIG for the first time!
My interests outside of work are going for hikes, camping, pressing flowers, taking my cat on adventures, playing video games, baking and going to the experimental farm to watch the bees and look for frogs.
My name is Chloe. It is my first summer working at SAWIG. I have 3 years of a Psychology degree from the University of Prince Edward Island, and starting in September I will be transferring to Holland College for Child and Youth Worker program that will last at least 2 years. My interests include nature walks, listening to music and painting in my free time - specifically in the summer, I love painting summer-y landscapes. On rainy days, I prefer just to hang out with my cats.
We have been very fortunate to have summer students for the last several years, and have accomplished a great deal to be proud of! Summer staff crew numbers have changed throughout the years, ranging from 1-5 full time staff for eight to sixteen week stints.
