2010 Interns
In cooperation with the Native Plant Society of Oregon, we offer 12 - 16 week internships in order to provide field experience to
individuals considering restoration ecology or conservation biology as a career.
In 2010, three interns worked on the Conservation Research crew. In addition, this the first year that we have participated in the Apprenticeships in Science and Engineering program through Saturday Academy.
Our interns worked on a variety of projects throughout Oregon including rare plant habitat surveys, threatened and endangered species research and monitoring, and invasive research.
