restoration ecology as a career choice. Interns will be collecting seed
from native plants for prairie restoration throughout the Willamette
Valley as well as assisting in wetlands restoration and conservation
programs. The internship offers opportunities to work with native
prairie species, develop plant identification skills, participate in
research and monitoring projects (common garden, rare species
monitoring), use technological tools (GPS, Access database, seed
processing equipment), and network with public agencies and private
organizations that could be your future employer.
Qualifications:

* Plant identification skills (or enthusiastic willingness to learn)
* Attention to detail
* Ability to work as a team-member for long hours in hot, dry/cold,
wet conditions, with potential exposure to poison oak
