Patrick Fergusonis a Registered Professional Forester with 10 years of experience practicing professional forestry across British Columbia. His introduction to the industry began during his undergraduate degree in Geography and Geomatics, when he started tree planting during the summer. After several seasons of tree planting and brushing, Patrick moved on to wildfire suppression with the BC Wildfire Service, working on fires across the province with a variety of crews. Between field seasons he also worked as a heavy equipment operator at mines and cat-skiing operations. Following several years of seasonal field work, Patrick completed a Professional Master’s degree in Forestry at the University of British Columbia to meet the education requirements for his RPF designation. Since then, he has worked for major forest licensees, the provincial government within the Ministry of Forests, and as a consultant. Patrick has been collaborating with Molly Creek Forestry since 2021. Currently, much of Patrick’s work focuses on developing a cultural burning program with the Gitxsan, implementing wildlife habitat restoration treatments, and supporting small-scale forestry operators—including woodlots and private landowners—with land management planning and regulatory requirements. Cultural and prescribed fire remain a central focus of his work, and he is particularly interested in the complex relationships between fire, ecosystems, and communities in the context of a changing climate.

Morgon has been part of our team for the past two years, bringing a strong foundation in wildfire management and forest ecology. He graduated with honours from the University of Northern British Columbia (UNBC), earning a degree in Forest Ecology and Lands Management with a minor in Biology and Conservation. Prior to joining us, Morgon spent six seasons working as a wildland firefighter, where he developed hands-on operational experience and leadership skills, including serving as a crew leader. That experience continues to inform his practical, field-based approach to both wildfire and forestry work. At Molly Creek, Morgon leads wildfire-related projects and supports layout operations in the field. His work includes wildfire risk assessments, fuel management planning, and contributing to Community Wildfire Resilience Plans. He also supports a range of forestry activities, including project layout, road layout and traversing, danger tree assessment, and small-scale licence management. Morgon brings a thoughtful and adaptable approach to his work, with a focus on understanding site-specific conditions and delivering practical, grounded solutions.
