In North-central British Columbia, a team of passionate environmentalists and industrial leaders have come together to improve environmental restoration practices aimed at returning industrial sites back into their natural state. In a modern twist on traditional land stewardship, Chu Cho Environmental has teamed up with the Mount Milligan Mine to create a summer student program, where recent high school graduates are given the opportunity to work directly on the Mount Milligan land reclamation program.

Enter Erianna and Caitlin, two inspiring young women who spent their summer working tirelessly to restore the land. Through their participation in the program, they gained valuable experience in everything from setting up insect traps to collecting vegetation samples. But their contributions go beyond just physical labor. They both embody the spirit of teamwork and camaraderie that makes Chu Cho Environmental such a special place to work.

Erianna and Caitlin are more than just coworkers, they are lifelong friends. As they traverse the rugged terrain and push themselves to new limits, they rely on each other for support and encouragement. "She pushes me to do things that I don't want to do sometimes," says Caitlin, "but she gives me hope and makes me happy. She's epic."

Despite the challenges they faced on the job, Erianna and Caitlin remained committed to their work and their community. They were inspired by the Wet'suwet'en Nation's performance, and they hope that other young people will have the same opportunity to gain this type of valuable experience and make a positive impact on the land in the future.

At Chu Cho Environmental, the mission is clear: to protect and restore the land for future generations. Thanks to the hard work and dedication of Erianna, Caitlin, and their colleagues at both CCE and Canterra Gold, this mission is one important step closer to being achieved.
