There was reason to celebrate on the evening of Monday, August 20th as this marked the official end of the first summer internship program run by the Pound Ridge Land Conservancy. Members of the PRLC board, family and friends of our summer interns and some community members gathered at the Armstrong House Education Center to applause the 7 interns’ summer of hard work. The interns presented their summer projects to the audience and fielded questions regarding their experience.
The summer internship program was designed to provide high school and college- aged students experience with real life conservation problems. Under the mentorship of the PRLC’s Land Steward/ Educator, interns grappled with independent projects – from designing and constructing a new chicken coop to early morning wildlife surveys – and produced tangible products used to further the mission of the PRLC. For example, Dana Biddle from South Salem produced a 3-D photo gallery of the Armstrong Preserve’s vernal pool, which we now use as an educational tool on our website. Another intern, Matthew Fuirst from Chappaqua, produced a map of the Armstrong Preserve’s natural communities (see below), which will appear in the forthcoming Armstrong Preserve Conservation Management Plan.
See our internship page for detailed profiles of the work of our summer 2012 interns. We wish them the best of luck!
