Abstract
No research was conducted during this internship. We instead practiced many different restoration and conservation efforts at the Diane Moore nature site and accomplished the following:
- Wrapped trees as beaver prevention
- Collected trash on the site
- Spread seeds: Hoary Tansyaster, Curly Cup Gumweed, Showy Milkweed, Rocky Mountain Bee Plant, Blanket Flower
- Collected Willow, Cottonwood, and Elderberry cuttings, propagated and planted them
- Planted native plants: Goldenrod, Lewis Flax, Rabbitbrush, Sagebrush, Penstemon, Sand Dropseed, Great Basin Wildrye, Golden Currant, Yarrow
- Decommissioned social trails
- Coordinated and supervised community volunteers
- Developed and created a new hiking trail
- Set up plant preservation exclosures
- Installed game cameras to monitor wildlife
