Nature Conservancy Interns Inventory 2,500 Acres of Native Prairie!
Our chapter’s Science program was fortunate to host three interns this summer.
They focused on assessing vegetation at three preserves: Whitney Preserve (South Dakota), Ordway Prairie (South Dakota) and Davis Ranch (North Dakota).
In addition, they assisted with inventories for two key partners in the Grassland Monitoring Team (Minnesota): the US Fish and Wildlife Service and the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources in the Glacial Lakes region of Minnesota.
We thank Kate Carroll, Stephen Rossiter, and Linda Nguyen for their dedication and hard work over the 2009 field season.
We also thank TNC’s World Office Diversity Internship Program for supporting Kate and Linda’s internship experience. Stephen’s internship was funded by the Cox Family Fund for Science and Research.

Science plays a leading role in conservation planning, monitoring and applied research for the local chapters of the Conservancy. Scientific information helps to inform effective strategies and measure our successes. Our chapter’s highest priorities for scientific research emerge from and support our local land management activities.
