Matthew Kristoff is a Registered Professional Forester in the province of Alberta. He has a BSc in Forestry from the University of Alberta and works as an Inventory Forester for GreenLink Forestry Inc. out of Edmonton. In 2017, he created YourForest Podcast as an excuse to talk with some of the country’s top thinkers and practitioners in the many fields of environmental management. The conversations had on YourForest continue to further Matthew’s passion for land stewardship and sustainable ideas. In 2018, Matthew produced and helped co-host an Indigenous Fire Stewardship podcast called Good Fire with the leadership of Amy Christianson. From this experience, Matthew gained a great appreciation and fascination for Indigenous Land Ethics. He strives to continue to learn from and support traditional knowledge in any way he can. Matthew’s hope is, that through the pursuit of knowledge, he may develop enough perspective, and empathy to help society better navigate the path of environmental stewardship and its role in an equitable society.
