On July 1st, I started a CLM internship in Wyoming. For this internship, I am helping with a long-term project that aims to understand the impact of wind farms on insect pollinators and plant communities. In two weeks, I have learned about Wyoming’s flora, methods for surveying pollinators, insect identification, and insect specimen pinning. My mentors and team members have been enthusiastic and patient teachers as I received training and settled into a new place — thank you Lusha Tronstad, Michael Dillon, Sarah DePaolo, Sadie Todd, Aaron Strude, Leon Miller, Joy Handley, and others working with the BLM and/or at the University of Wyoming. Also, thank you Adrienne Pilmanis (BLM) for suggesting I partake in this wonderful learning experience.
