    It was treeplanting that triggered environmentalist Nikki Heck’s epiphany: working in industry was the best way to make a difference.

    “I got frustrated being the person putting the trees in the ground,” says Heck, 33, an environmental adviser with the electric utility company AltaLink. “I wanted to be the person making the decision about how the land was managed in the first place.”

    The Calgarian was an aspiring biologist when she treeplanted during her university years. The job paid her tuition and opened her eyes.
