About me
Laura Hergott is the Manager of Education at BC Parks Foundation, providing accessible opportunities for people across Canada to improve their health through meaningful connections with nature. With a background in Biochemistry and Molecular Genetics, Laura was drawn to this work by the growing body of research supporting nature’s role in health, and by her own love of the outdoors as an avid hiker and rock climber. Laura's work supports a national culture that both values human well‑being and protects the natural places that sustain it. Laura is grateful to live, work, and play on the unceded territory of the K’omoks Nation, comprised of the Sathloot, Sasitla, Ieeksen, Xa’xe and Pentlatch tribes.
