Nooksack Salmon Enhancement Association (NSEA) FLOW Intern

Going into the internship, the intern team spent a day creating individual goals for the term. I hoped to learn more about the natural systems that support salmon populations, and specifically how ecosystems are benefited by the presence of a vibrant salmon population. I wanted to learn about our local watershed, the projects NSEA was currently working on to improve its health, and how I could best contribute to their mission during my internship term. Additionally, I wanted to gain confidence speaking about all of this information so that I could teach others about the importance of these systems. More than anything, I want to begin my journey as a steward to the land, and gain skills as a riparian restoration specialist to apply to my future professional work
