The Mt Tamalpais Watershed has several internships starting in 2011 that
offer direct application and practical experience of skills learned in
school. The volunteer positions available are involved with vegetation
ecology, GIS, photomonitoring, environmental education and database
development. These activities will support such projects as the high
school restoration field trip program, Sudden Oak Death monitoring,
updating the Mt Tamalpais Rare Plant Report, Douglas-fir encroachment
project and the Weed Watcher program. Students must commit to 35 hours
during a semester and have substantial knowledge in one of these
disciplines or the aptitude to learn.
We also have volunteer habitat restoration events at least one Saturday
per month and may be able to schedule mid-week events for groups. Please
let me know who I should talk with at Sonoma State to get the word out.
Students can contact me for more info or for an internship application.
