Jennifer Sutherst
After a brief hiatus from Project Watershed Jennifer Sutherst has returned to the organization as our Senior Staff Biologist in order to continue to support our sensitive habitat stewardship objectives.
Jennifer had taken on a new position with Defence Construction Canada (DCC) but she quickly realized that, despite all the tangible benefits and great people she worked with at DCC, her true passion lies with habitat restoration and improving our local environment.
The Board of Directors and staff at Project Watershed are thrilled to have Jennifer back.
