My name is Willow McGrath and I’m a grade 12 student in Saint John NB. I am extremely passionate about the environment and love working with people. I am a camp counsellor and spend all of my time outside in the summer, while providing experiential learning to campers and more.
I’ve represented Canadian youth on matters of environmental education, human rights and the SDGs at many conferences including the National Forum for Environmental Learning, AP Nature Ed/Black Diaspra conferences and CCUNESCO conferences. I’ve been requested as a guest/keynote speaker for the Forest Planning and stewardship branch of the NB Government as well as a local conference concerning the future.
Im also extremely grateful to have had the opportunity to represent the younger generation at the IUCNs World Conservation Congress this past October where I was team lead of an international group of presenters and was also chosen out of the 10 youth there to speak in the Canadian Governments Showcase event alongside Canadian conservation leaders such as the CEO of the Toronto zoo.
