Rylee Hewitt

Rylee was born and raised on the Rafter T Ranch in southeast Alberta. She was one of many in the Osadczuk clan and she quickly learned the importance of family, legacy and a pecking order.

Rylee holds a diploma in Renewable Resource Management from Lethbridge College and a Bachelor of Science degree with a major in Environmental Studies from the University of Lethbridge. Rylee started in the environmental field several years ago working as a wildlife biologist throughout western Canada and abroad in South Africa. More recently, she was involved in environmental consulting in the natural resource industry. Rylee brings to SALTS five years of experience in conservation in southwest Alberta from her time with the Nature Conservancy of Canada. Rylee has always valued SALTS reputation as a trustworthy partner for those in both the agricultural and conservation communities.

Rylee’s husband, Lyle, is a farrier and along with their young son and daughter, they have a commercial black Angus cow/calf operation in the southern Porcupine Hills. In Rylee’s spare time you can find her always with her family – helping neighbours, working on their ranch or team roping.
