PROJECTS

A community interest company that I have been collaborating with for a few years. The recent launch of their veterans program has not only enabled me to work in the land and arb based industry with other armed forces veterans, but also given me insight and experience in a wide range of subjects. Since being involved with SF, i have a more holistic understanding of land management, forestry and wildlife conservation. Joe Humphrey.  From the Secure forests website;  Mission: We believe that every forest should be protected for the future of our planet, working with local communities, our technology and systems can ensure this happens.  Vision: Net-growth in secured natural forest cover by 2050  Values: 

  • Respect for the natural world 
  • Respect for local indigenous peoples rights and their values 
  • Appreciate the importance of clear communications and collaboration across multiple disciplines
  •  Value and recognise the skills, knowledge and experience of the Armed Forces Veterans community.

In September 2021, Wild Bear Lodge hosted its inaugural week-long wilderness skill-sharing program in British Columbia's Inland Temperate Rainforest. This initiative, in collaboration with the Invictus Games, brought  together experienced Canadian guides and military veterans recovering from injuries. The program aimed to facilitate skill exchange: veterans taught military skills like outdoor survival and teamwork, while also learning from the guides about animal tracking and wildlife observation. The initiative sought to aid veterans' transitions to civilian life and highlight the importance of nature conservation. Julius Strauss, a former war correspondent and PTSD survivor, co-led the program alongside Joe Humphrey, a wounded former British Royal Marines Commando turned wilderness guide. Funding was provided by Wild Bear Lodge and the Invictus Games Foundation.
