The time will come when winter will ask what you were doing all summer\u201d \u2013Henry Clay<\/p>\n
Although Clay was referring to a long forgotten era when surviving the winter was a direct correlation to how much food a farm produced in the summer, taken broadly it is an appropriate aphorism of my time as a CLM intern. Just as early agrarians invested in the summer to prepare them for the future, through the CLM program I have garnered a hoard of skills and experiences towards that end. I either learned or enhanced my skills in:<\/p>\n
*GIS processing, changing tires, patience
\n*Cruising timber, FORVIS stand inventory, getting sap out of clothes
\n*Range monitoring, fire rehab monitoring, staying hydrated
\n*Salt desert scrub plant id, sagebrush steppe plant id, subalpine conifer id, walking
\n*Remote sensing, DOQ interpretation, patience
\n*Class III cultural survey, NHPA of 1966, SHPOs and NRHP, celebrating the little things
\n*Right-of-way compliance, invasive plant id, appreciation of the Grateful Dead
\n*Wild horse trapping, public inquiry, diplomatic response
\n*RMP planning, AMS vegetation description, patience<\/p>\n
What I will miss most about the job are the professional relationships I\u2019ve developed with coworkers.
\nWhat I will miss most about Carson City is being a stone\u2019s throw from the mountains and my favorite lunch spot on the Carson River. Given these positives, I will indubitably recall my desert and mountain solitaire with nostalgia.<\/p>\n
