Hi all - I'm moving to the Nantahala Gorge area (Bryson City) this summer, and was curious as to whether anyone knew of any possible job openings or volunteer positions in a (preferably) botanically related field.
I am 24, and hold my BS in Environmental Biology from Beloit College. I have spent the past three summer seasons (now totaling 1 year) working for the USGS as a plant ecology research technician in the Indiana Dunes National Lakeshore. This past summer I led the research crew (field and lab) as the "Bittersweet Crew Coordinator." This summer is the start of a new adventure in a place I have never been before. I am currently in that "undecided about exactly what I wish to go to graduate school for" phase, and would love to be able to continue doing some sort of work (even if it's just volunteering) in a plant ecology or conservation biology related field. I will be arriving in the area the first week of May, and have a very open end date. I am willing to travel about an hour away from Bryson City if a position calls for such. If anyone knows of ANYTHING - openings, potential contacts, etc... - Please let me know! Thank you! Katie Kangas BS Env.
