This internship program provides hands-on field and laboratory experience collecting and analyzing environmental data gathered from WSDOT wetland mitigation sites. We use quantitative and qualitative monitoring methods to conduct vegetation surveys. We use statistical methods to evaluate quantitative data. Most field activities focus on vegetation sampling and plant identification. We include other activities such as evaluating soils, hydrology and wildlife as time allows. Plant identification laboratory sessions, supplemental training and seminars are on the TESC campus. Though there will be some variation in the 11-week schedule, most weeks will include three field days (7:15 A.M. to 4:30 P.M.) and one day including plant lab on the TESC campus (7:30 A.M. to 4:00 P.M.).
