Summer Internships
I am almost done with my undergraduate degree, I thought this day would never come. I found two internships over the summer and even though I only need one I decided to do both. Its exciting! The first one is going to be with the BLM here in Idaho. We are going to be doing a study on Tiger Beetles out at the sand dunes in St. Anthony. A couple of the studies we are looking at our: The effects of ATV on the habitat and burrows of Tiger beetle larvae. The effect of cattle grazing, the cattle crazing allows for crested wheatgrass to take over which is harmful to the habitat. There a few other things we might consider doing while we are at it. The second internship is going to be for Fremont and Madison Counties. It is using biological control to keep leafy spurge from invading parks in the area. The biological control we are going to be using it beetles. Its going to be good because it is 40 hours a week and Ill be getting paid $9/hr. So its way better than I expected. Its going to be a good summer though, Ill be outside most days and getting my internship taken care of.
