I&#8217;m Allen, and if the 2010 CLM intern list was any guide I&#8217;m the only intern on the east coast. Today marks the 4th week I&#8217;ve been a CLM intern with the C&amp;O Canal National Park and I&#8217;m glad to have had the chance to do different things almost every week in different places. My first two weeks I worked with the NPS Inventory and Monitoring of DC and learned the identity of many plants as we worked plots in some of the National Parks in central-northern Virginia and central Maryland.<\/p>\n<p>The 3rd week I spent in Catoctin Mountain Park in northern Maryland, marking with GPS and reporting the state-endangered Long-bracted <em>Orchis<\/em>. Though rather inconspicuous, it was still somewhat exciting as this was the first endangered plant I had seen in the weed.<\/p>\n<p>This 4th week was different yet again. I worked with EA Engineering, Science and Technology employees\u00a0 at the C&amp;O canal in Hancock (western Maryland) and identified all plants along an unwatered stretch of the canal that is planned on being rewatered in the future. In addition to being a learning experience, this also ended up being a test of my botany skills and I was pleased to be able to keep up with the employees and be a true help rather than just a burden. Unfortunately my only photos are from this week.\n\t\t<style type=\"text\/css\">\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 {\n\t\t\t\tmargin: auto;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 .gallery-item {\n\t\t\t\tfloat: left;\n\t\t\t\tmargin-top: 10px;\n\t\t\t\ttext-align: center;\n\t\t\t\twidth: 33%;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 img {\n\t\t\t\tborder: 2px solid #cfcfcf;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 .gallery-caption {\n\t\t\t\tmargin-left: 0;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t\/* see gallery_shortcode() in wp-includes\/media.php *\/\n\t\t<\/style>\n\t\t<div id='gallery-1' class='gallery galleryid-1803 gallery-columns-3 gallery-size-thumbnail'><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/blog.clminternship.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/06\/Weir.JPG'><img width=\"300\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.clminternship.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/06\/Weir-300x300.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-1-1804\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt>\n\t\t\t\t<dd class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-1-1804'>\n\t\t\t\tWeir at Lock 51\n\t\t\t\t<\/dd><\/dl><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/blog.clminternship.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/06\/Potomac.JPG'><img width=\"300\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.clminternship.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/06\/Potomac-300x300.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-1-1805\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt>\n\t\t\t\t<dd class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-1-1805'>\n\t\t\t\tPotomac River\n\t\t\t\t<\/dd><\/dl><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/blog.clminternship.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/06\/greendragon.JPG'><img width=\"300\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.clminternship.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/06\/greendragon-300x300.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-1-1806\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt>\n\t\t\t\t<dd class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-1-1806'>\n\t\t\t\tGreen Dragon &#8211; Arisaema dracontium\n\t\t\t\t<\/dd><\/dl><br style=\"clear: both\" \/>\n\t\t<\/div>\n<\/p>\n<p>If this past month is indicative of the future months to come, I think this will be an excellent summer.\u00a0 See some of you at the Grand Canyon training in a couple weeks!<\/p>\n<p>Allen Dupre<\/p>\n<p>Hagerstown, MD<\/p>\n<p>NPS<\/p>\n<p><span> <\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hello everyone!
