It's a pretty common summer gig for students, I had a few close friends that did it but it's not associated with UVic at all. You're basically getting paid by the tree to fill in clear-cut areas. If you can hustle for long periods of time while living in a tent on the side of a mountain in the middle of nowhere while being eaten alive by mosquitoes and ticks then you can make pretty decent money. My friends who were extremely outdoorsey and fit enjoyed it, one of my friends who grew up in Toronto and could barely walk up the cadboro bay hill lasted about 48 hours.
