2011 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 2011, two interns are working on the Conservation Research crew. In addition, this is the second 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. You can follow their summer adventures, by vising our blog, research.appliedeco.org
| Autumn Meade IAE/NPSO Intern |
Autumn is a Wildlife Ecology graduate from the University of Wisconsin-Madison. She is looking to further her understanding of endangered and threatened species management and to learn about Oregon's flora, fauna and various ecosystem types. |
| Sarah Storniolo Apprenticeship in Science and Engineering program |
Sarah is a senior at Crescent Valley High School. She is interested in native species and ways that people are working to restore habitats. In addition to providing experience in field studies, this internship is a great opportunity for Sarah to explore different career paths and help her decide on a major in college. She plans on graduating high school and then going to college. |
