Hi! I am Linnea Barrett, I grew up on Salt Spring Island. Growing up on an island and being surrounded by forests, the ocean, and mountains encouraged my love for nature and conservation. I am a Geography and Environmental Studies student at the University of Victoria, and I love learning about coastal geography, environmental restoration, biodiversity, and sustainable conservation. These types of courses have continued to foster my love for nature and restoration and I am excited to contribute to meaningful environmental work here at ThINC. In my free time I love hiking, camping, surfing, rock climbing, and being outside with friends.
