My Story

Canopée is owned and operated by me, Alexandria Schmitz. I love trees. It began by playing under the canopy of trees; canoeing tripping, rock climbing and camping. This was followed by fighting the canopy; Wildland Forest Firefighter and moved into monitoring the canopy; Environmental Technician for rivers and riparian zones. I concluded with growing the canopy, where I am today, a seed picker and woody plant propagator. I have over 6 years experience with the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry of Alberta, 5 years of indigenous woody plant selection and propagation and over 35 years of forest discovery. My experience is varied and consistent. I love trees.
