Abstract Details

2017, Master of Environmental Science, Miami University, Environmental Sciences.
The following report summarizes my internship with Brukner Nature Center (BNC) in Troy, Ohio from January through May, 2016. This internship served as partial fulfillment of the Master of Environmental Science degree from the Institute for the Environment and Sustainability at Miami University. I actively assisted with wildlife conservation practices in the disciplines of preservation, education, and rehabilitation. My responsibilities regarding preservation included trail maintenance, wildlife food and shelter supplementation, invasive species control to improve habitat and wildlife diversity, and participation in research projects. My responsibilities involving education included teaching of natural history to multiple age and social groups as well as caring for and handling resident wildlife ambassadors used for educational purposes. My rehabilitation duties included lawful intake procedures and care of injured and/or orphaned wildlife for eventual release back into the wild. In addition, my project was to assist in the development of BNC’s breeding bird banding station through the Monitoring Avian Productivity and Survivorship program, which included siting, mapping, assessing, constructing, and preparing the station.
