Liz is from Scotland. She has been in Canada for almost 2 years on a working holiday visa and has loved every minute in British Columbia, especially the incredible west coast. With a background in Ecology, Liz came to Canada to explore its ecosystems and wildlife as well as its rich history and culture. Last summer, Liz traveled from Victoria all the way up the coast to Haida Gwaii before spending winter in the Kootenays. Liz has fallen completely in love with Vancouver Island and will be sad to leave in a couple of weeks.

Liz has been a crucial part of our volunteer crew this summer supporting FOCS “Summer Presentations” and the “Clayoquot Salmon Festival. Liz is looking forward to taking home all the amazing things she has learned here and knows that without a doubt she will be back to these magical lands.

“Thanks so much to FOCS, you are all amazing people and it’s been an absolute pleasure to learn from you and get to know you a little.” – Liz
