Each week is something new, a\u00a0different place, new species, or new interactions with the public. I am\u00a0truly\u00a0enjoying how each day is\u00a0different\u00a0from the last. I have really enjoyed working at the Springs Preserve and being involved with the\u00a0different\u00a0education programs as well as working with the horticulturalist and gardens team in the plant\u00a0propagation\u00a0facility. It has given me a chance to see how much organization and team work go into the Springs Preserve be the wonderful place it is. Still, as great as working at the preserve is, my\u00a0favorite is going out in the\u00a0field and working for the SOS program. I have not stopped learning about the local area, the different flora and\u00a0fauna, and how not to get lost in the desert. We recently went to Gold Butte, which is about three hours north west of Vegas. We had the\u00a0opportunity to do some seed monitoring and collecting with the Great Basin Institute seed techs as well as camp with them and the GBI\u00a0restoration\u00a0team. It was an amazingly\u00a0beautiful\u00a0area (you could still see the lights from Vegas tho), and a wonderful\u00a0opportunity\u00a0for Alison and I to work with a\u00a0different\u00a0group and ask question about the different project they were working on.<\/p>\n<p>Dan Goldbacher \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 Springs Preserve, Las Vegas, NV<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/dev-clm-blog.pantheonsite.io\/?attachment_id=16680\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-16680\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-16680\" src=\"https:\/\/dev-clm-blog.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/05\/IMG_22241-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.clminternship.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/05\/IMG_22241-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blog.clminternship.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/05\/IMG_22241-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blog.clminternship.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/05\/IMG_22241-400x300.jpg 400w, https:\/\/blog.clminternship.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/05\/IMG_22241-1024x768.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/dev-clm-blog.pantheonsite.io\/?attachment_id=16681\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-16681\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-16681\" src=\"https:\/\/dev-clm-blog.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/05\/IMG_22261-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.clminternship.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/05\/IMG_22261-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blog.clminternship.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/05\/IMG_22261-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blog.clminternship.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/05\/IMG_22261-400x300.jpg 400w, https:\/\/blog.clminternship.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/05\/IMG_22261-1024x768.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/dev-clm-blog.pantheonsite.io\/?attachment_id=16682\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-16682\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-16682\" src=\"https:\/\/dev-clm-blog.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/05\/IMG_22311-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"Peucephyllum schottii \" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.clminternship.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/05\/IMG_22311-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blog.clminternship.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/05\/IMG_22311-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blog.clminternship.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/05\/IMG_22311-400x300.jpg 400w, https:\/\/blog.clminternship.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/05\/IMG_22311-1024x768.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/dev-clm-blog.pantheonsite.io\/?attachment_id=16683\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-16683\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-16683\" src=\"https:\/\/dev-clm-blog.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/05\/IMG_20521-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.clminternship.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/05\/IMG_20521-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blog.clminternship.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/05\/IMG_20521-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blog.clminternship.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/05\/IMG_20521-400x300.jpg 400w, https:\/\/blog.clminternship.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/05\/IMG_20521-1024x768.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This internship continues to be an outstanding\u00a0experience.
