Jeni joined the Cariboo Carbon Solutions team in 2019 as a senior silviculture surveyor and has been involved in many wildfire restoration projects throughout the Cariboo and Cascade regions of British Columbia. She develops silviculture prescriptions, which include eco-typing, initial reconnaissance, mapping and planting prescriptions. Jeni is also a project lead and operations manager for several planting projects with Zanzibar Holdings Ltd., and a member of the Joint Occupational Health and Safety Committee (JOHSC) for both CCS and Zanzibar.

Jeni began her reforestation career back in 1990 as a tree planter, and she planted her first trees for Zanzibar Holdings Ltd. in 1993.

Jeni started surveying in 1994, earning her accreditation in 1998. For over a decade she worked simultaneously as a tree planting crew boss and a survey crew supervisor throughout southern BC. Following that, she became an assistant silviculturist for Interfor’s West Coast Division, based out of Ucluelet, BC where she developed multi-layered survey methodologies into forestry data management systems.

Jeni’s vast silviculture expertise, developed from being a planter and a surveyor, to planting and survey contract implementation, administration and management, makes her a welcome addition to the CCS team.
