Primary duties will include independently mapping invasive species
utilizing a GPS unit, and incorporating the information into ArcGIS.
Secondary duties will include assisting with the management of invasive
species, establishing monitoring plots and monitor of invasive species,
data entry, and other duties as assigned.
WHY?
This is an excellent opportunity to gain valuable work experience on a
National Wildlife Refuge and develop contacts with professionals in the

a management concern at many National Wildlife Refuges across the country.
These assignments will aid in successfully achieving management goals at
the refuge level.

WHO?

Candidates should have experience using a GPS, a basic understanding of
GIS, vegetation sampling experience, interest in botanical work, and the
ability to work independently in (potentially) wet terrain with large
numbers of aggressive mosquitoes.
WHEN?
From mid-May through August 2005; dates somewhat flexible. Work is 40
hours per week
HOW MUCH?
$250/week stipend provided. Housing is UNAVAILABLE. Intern offices will
be located at Eastern Neck National Wildlife Refuge, located in Rock Hall,
MD; shopping, food, and services are available about 20 miles away in
