For nine weeks this summer five SEFS undergraduate students-Hannah Carbajal, Shelby Felthoven, Mia, Mata, Lark Murphy, and Emily Rabus took part in this year’s Pack Forest Summer crew gaining field training in research and sustainable forest management!

The students worked alongside two SEFS graduate students, as well as forester Chase Beyer. They participated in a wide range of activities, including measuring 90 permanent forest inventory plots from the Continuous Forest Inventory (CFI) project.

The interns joined Beatriz Oliva in several field tasks related to her masters research project at Pack Forest. They also helped maintain several previous research projects led by Professor Greg Ettl including the through-fall exclusion project and assisted with this summer’s timber cruise.

The Pack Forest Summer Crew had an immersive, productive and memorable internship!
