I’m Cole and I’m from Vermont.\u00a0 I studied Forestry at Paul Smith’s College, which is located in the Adirondack mountains\u00a0of New York.\u00a0 I have just finished my third week at the BLM office in Carson City, NV.\u00a0 I assumed when I moved out here that I would not be seeing many large trees, and that assumption proved true, but I did not anticipate that I would know so few of the species.\u00a0 The only plants that seem to be in both Nevada and Vermont are the invasives.\u00a0 I have been\u00a0trying to learn as many new\u00a0genera and species as I can to turn that\u00a0“sea of green” I see out the car window into something more recognizable.<\/p>\n
We participated in an Earth Day event yesterday in Fallon.\u00a0 The event was located on a\u00a0Naval Air Station where Top Gun was filmed.\u00a0 Although the crowd was kind of small, we had a diverse group of people from school teachers to archeologists to pilots ask us about the different aspects of the BLM.\u00a0A lot of people out here\u00a0have an interest in the BLM, which is exciting.\u00a0We will be heading up to Reno this Sunday for\u00a0a second Earth Day\u00a0event.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
