Graduate Profile for Ben Sumner
Ben Sumner

- Watershed Enforcement Officer
- Graduated: 2007
I attended and graduated from the Natural Resources Law Enforcement Program in 2005-2006. Throughout the program, I found that the instructors had a wealth of field knowledge that they bring to their in-class tutorials. These tutorials were followed up with extensive practical exercises, through which I was constantly challenged to incorporate all that I'd learned in the classroom. The combination of experiences in and out of the classroom definitely prepared me to compete successfully for jobs after graduation. I have worked at some extremely rewarding enforcement positions with Ontario Parks and various conservation authorities. I attribute much of the success in my career directly to my experiences in the Natural Resources Law Enforcement program.
