Business (2007), University of Waterloo, Waterloo
Diploma in Environmental Assessment (2007), University

Master's Candidate, School of Resource and Environmental Management, Simon Fraser University
Ashley came to REM in Fall 2007 with an interest in natural resource
management focusing on ecological economics and land-use planning.
Her master’s research consists of an economic valuation of the natural
water purification service of temperate
coastal rainforests. A lack of knowledge currently exists with respect to
a forested ecosystem’s economic contribution to the production of clean
drinking water. As a result, such forests remain highly undervalued. Her work
will therefore help natural resource managers better determine the proper
opportunity cost associated with competing land-uses.
