This summer, I independently found an internship with Alturas Wildlife Sanctuary, a non-profit organization dedicated to the rescue, rehabilitation, and release of wildlife. For 3 months, my responsibilities include the care and well-being of various Costa Rican wildlife species, engaging in tasks such as habitat cleaning, providing enrichment activities twice per day, training, and supporting the overall operations of the sanctuary.

I have been working on doing Individual Tree Inventory (ITI) most of the time during my work term. In this job, I have to measure every tree’s DBH, height, age and record any defects on the tree. I have learned a lot during my time there, including defining defects on trees and using vertex to measure tree height as referenced in the photo.
