Mae Godfrey is serving an 11-month VetsWork Environment AmeriCorps internship as a wildlife management intern on the Monongahela National Forest. This internship offers an opportunity to gain valuable knowledge and work experiences assisting in various program areas of the U.S. Forest Service, with an emphasis in ecology and wildlife. Mae will be involved in many different projects such as habitat restorations utilizing chain saws, native plant propagation, invasive plant mitigation, wildlife surveys and monitoring, and timber sale preparation. We are very excited to share her experiences and adventure thus far!

Felling Day of chainsaw training; practicing boring cuts. This Red Maple tree was approximately 75′ tall and 13″ in diameter!

On this day, I was working on the Mower Tract on Cheat Mountain. My coworker Todd and I were un-tubing large amounts of Aspen and Speckled Poplar trees.

One of the many beautiful vistas on the Mower Tract of Cheat Mountain.

Looking happy and feeling good planting trees.

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.

She’s off for her school overnight trip! She handled all of her own packing and I am fully confident that means she’ll have at least 95% of the things she really needs. Girlfriend is on top of it! #urchinadventures #montessorikids #overnightfieldtrip #cascademountainschool

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.
