Brook Trout Habitat Restoration Internships
Tin Mountain Conservation Center , Albany, NH (White Mountain Region)
The Brook Trout Habitat Restoration Project involves research on the influence of adding woody material to small streams to enhance size and abundance of brook trout populations. Tin Mountain will be hiring two interns for this project. The interns will be involved in permitting projects, collecting baseline information on all streams, electro-fishing, making wood additions, and re-assessing streams treated in the past few years. The project involves strenuous work as well as extensive data collections on physical and biological attributes of streams, water chemistry, and fish populations. The interns will work with volunteers and staff to collect/analyze data and report results.
In addition, the interns will conduct routine timberland maintenance including blazing property boundaries, repairing trails, marking timber, and timber stand improvement. He/she also will work with the organization’s forester to develop a harvest plan for a 30-40 acre timber harvesting that will be conducted in the winter. Candidates should have basic knowledge of forestry and tree identification skills. Experience with GPS and GIS (ArcMap) are preferred. The brook trout internships will begin late spring/summer 2016 and run for 3 months, depending on availability.
