Daniel Persson Named One of the Top 20 Under 40 Foresters in Canadian Forest Industries Magazine
Williams Lake, B.C. – Daniel, 33, has made a significant impact on forest rehabilitation projects in the traditional territories of the Tŝideldel First Nation and other parts of B.C. Since joining Central Chilcotin Rehabilitation (CCR) just over a year ago, he has played a key role in leading forest planning activities and overseeing crucial projects like the restoration of wildfire- and mountain pine beetle-devastated forests through the 2 Billion Trees project.
Daniel’s journey in forestry began when he was 14, planting trees in northern Sweden. “This experience sparked my interest in forestry, which has motivated both my education and career choices,” he says. He later earned a Master of Science in forestry from the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences and brought his innovative techniques to CCR.
Daniel is passionate about reshaping public perceptions of forestry. “I wish the public saw forestry more as a solution to climate change, conservation, and wildfire mitigation rather than
something negative,” he explains. He believes this shift could attract more young people to the industry.
“Daniel’s leadership, cultural awareness, and dedication to
forest management have been invaluable to our team,” says Percy
Guichon, Director of CCR.
