Conservation work?...please, do tell

Cunard has some cruises from the UK to the USA. Once in the USA, you could continue overland to Canada.
If you are planning to take a freighter, this web has some links that could help you in order to look for it.

Are you going to be one of those people with English accents who door to door soliciting for Greenpeace?

Or do a Don Staniford?

10 February, 2012 - Anti-fish farm activist Don Staniford is to be deported to Britain days after the conclusion of a 20-day defamation case in B.C. Supreme Court in Vancouver.

Staniford is fighting a defamation suit launched by Mainstream Canada, the province’s second largest salmon farming company.

“Canadian Border Services Agency has taken a very heavy-handed approach,” said Staniford, a British citizen, who does not dispute that he has been living in Canada illegally since his visa expired in 2010. Staniford suspects that the deportation order, issued on the first day of the Mainstream court case, is connected to his vocal anti-fish farm stance. He has turned over his passport and is due to be escorted out of Canada Feb. 29.

Freighter was more what I was thinking, cruisers are out of my price range. Even freighter is a struggle. Thanks for the suggestions!

And as for my conservation work, I studied environmental science at uni, and want a career in conservation, not knocking on doors. The work I would be doing would be gain some experience for this, so I'm trying to get a volunteer placement with DOC in either Canada or Alaska.

Ow and the 5 masted clipper looks stunning, but unless I win the lottery......

As a conservation biologist, I apologize for the ignorance displayed by some of the posters on this forum. Perhaps you might want to describe yourself as looking for work in wildlife science to avoid future hostility.

Check out these jobs websites: here and here. And perhaps those clueless on what conservation work can be should take a look as well.

Good luck.

Don't need to apologize ref, yeash. My background is also enviro science, closer to engineering though....funny how many there are of us.
There are many volunteer options in our area in Calgary...but jobs, that's a different story.
