Interns work as a member of a survey team to: 1) inventory endangered, threatened, and sensitive wildlife species; 2) assess habitat suitability for various wildlife species; 3) conduct counts to estimate abundance of Karner blue butterflies, a federally listed endangered species, within designated management areas; 4) conduct vegetative surveys to estimate acreage of suitable Karner blue butterfly habitat within designated management areas; 5) conduct vegetative surveys to assess the effectiveness of different management treatments for restoring savannas; 6) identify management concerns for use in developing management plans; and 7) layout and implement habitat improvement projects to restore openlands and young forests. The data collected will be used by professional staff to develop management plans and conservation measures. Interns also assist with recreation and timber program activities, complete detailed field reports, enter data into various databases, and participate in outreach activities to educate the public about wildlife conservation issues. They also have the option to complete an independent project to help inform future management decisions. The survey crew works mid-May to mid-August weekdays between 8:30 am and 5:00 pm.
