"I have been a part of many summers on this prairie and since I am conducting my thesis research here, it was logical to pursue an internship as well. I have always stood behind this Institute and what it stands for and I am thankful for what the professors here have taught me. Being a part of PRI is always a rewarding experience whether as a student or intern or employee. When I finish my masters degree this year I hope to pursue a career in restoration and conservation of Pacific Northwest ecosystems or to start my own sustainable energy and design consulting business."

"I chose to be a part of the internship program at PRI because the idea of working outdoors while learning about various species of plants and applying restoration methods to the field appealed to me. I believe that being a part of the habitat restoration project here at the institute will be an incredible experience as I hope to gain valuable knowledge and skills pertaining to environmental stewardship. Although my future plans are still rather open, I plan to use the skills and interests that I develop here, as well as at Bethel, to pursue a career where I can work outdoors and be a steward of creation."

"I have done research in Midwest prairies for 3 years and I am interested to see the differences in the glacial prairie. I hope to gain valuable skills and a greater appreciation for the diversity in habitats and their inhabitants throughout this internship. In the future I hope to continue working outdoors and gaining more knowledge about the world that we live in."
