Internships in Applied Suburban Ecology
Managing remaining, fragmented natural areas in human modified landscapes is
its own ball game. Suburban ecosystems have been called emergent (or new) wild
areas with a unique combination of native and introduced species, changing
biochemical cycles, and an overabundance of people.

As a Intern Manager, you will be exposed to a variety of ecological and human
problems facing these protected areas. You will learn how managers cope
through research, management, stewardship, and extension work.  
Our Intern Managers and their projects:

Peter Snell - Backyard Coyote Project, Florida Tech (2007)
Alec Kretchun - Insect community of the hemlock canopy, Univ. of Oregon (2007)
Ryan Thomas - Mapping Exotic Flora of the MRGP Univ. of Texas, Austin (2007)
Applications for the 2008 Intern positions are being accepted.
DEADLINE: March 15, 2008
All Interns will assist MRGP staff on projects like trail maintenance and patrol,
species inventories, and exotic management. In addition, each Intern will
concentrate on their own independent project. Often this will include working with
our graduate or high school students.
