Over the past couple of months I have been introduced to several different opportunities. I have marked timber, evaluated roads, monitored archaeological sites, helped with recreation on the remodel of a bathhouse, and assisted with two comparison cruises on timber theft.

    The amount of people willing to help and train people, such as myself and other newbies on the forest is overwhelming. I haven’t come into contact with anyone that hasn’t been willing to put forth effort and time to give me a learning opportunity. I have thoroughly enjoyed my time in VetsWork AmeriCorps program here on the Shawnee National Forest, and look forward to the remaining months here.

    It was so much fun teaching mtadamsinstitute summer botany camp yesterday. The kids had a blast learning about plants and natural dyes. We had a field trip to bloomanddye to harvest fresh dye flowers and the older kids made bundle dyed bandanas. The young kids made indigo shibori bandanas and left with blue hands and blue arms! 💙🌿🌼💛 

I left exhausted with a big smile and full heart. Seeing the joy and happiness on these kids faces as they saw what they created was a treat.

    KCD is sad to be losing the amazing Krystal Hedrick, who has accepted a new position as GIS Mapper with the Weld County Assessor’s Office in Colorado.

She served at KCD over the past year through Mount Adams Institute VetsWork, an AmeriCorps career development program for military veterans who want to work in natural resources management.

As a forest technician, Krystal brought passion to her work on KCD’s North SeaTac Park restoration managing a KCD WCC crew to remove harmful invasive plants and prepare the site for reforestation efforts that will improve the park’s ecosystem making it more resilient and beneficial for local wildlife.
