27 May On to the next adventure!
My name is Elizabeth. I was born and raised in southern California. I studied Conservation Resource Studies with a minor in Forestry in northern California and just graduated! I love being outdoors hiking, swimming, or even just sitting under the shade of a tree. This summer, I will be interning at Valley Forge National Park in Pennsylvania. It is my first time on the east coast and so far, I have had a great time! I have already had many insightful conversations with several staff members in the park. I got to learn and take part in managing an invasive crayfish population in the creek that runs along the park. I had a great time feeling the fresh water running past my feet while looking for and collecting rusty crayfish. It has only been a week and I have already learned a lot.
I am definitely interested in working towards conservation but I have yet to find out what specific field I want to dive into. This week, I communicated my long list of interests within conservation to my supervisor and thankfully, I will have the opportunity to explore many of these interests throughout the summer. Through this experience, I am hoping to find which specific aspect of conservation I would like to pursue as a career.
I am really excited for what is to come this summer!
Out in the field!
