Born and raised in rural Nova Scotia, Jonathan grew up outside, hiking, biking, and relaxing at the lake. After completing his undergraduate degree at Dalhousie University with a major in biology and a minor in statistics, Jon made the move to the big city of Toronto, surrounding himself by what he loves, nature!
Currently doing his masters in forest conservation at the University of Toronto, Jonathan is spending the summer working on a community engagement and urban tree stewardship project within the community of Long Branch.
While Jon is excited about developing professional skills in the field, and to share his knowledge and enthusiasm for biodiversity and forest management, he is especially looking forward to: getting to know the community and its members, and to help create a healthy, relaxing, and sustainable urban environment for everyone to enjoy!
