Resource Stewardship and Interpretive Interns at Lewis and Clark NHP

A. Project Goals ¿ The goal of the project is to provide for three youth interns to work on interpretive programs and natural resource projects at Lewis and Clark National Historical Park. B. Project Objectives ¿ The interns will run the park¿s Junior Ranger program and provide structured interpretive talks and walks to the visiting public. The interns will learn to keep track of the number of visitor contact, number of junior ranger contacts and the number of junior ranger booklets handed out to our junior rangers. The interns will also be able to participate in invasive plant removal and treatment of the invasive plants. This will improve the park¿s natural environment through hands-on inventory of plants, work in the native plant nursery and conduct elk driving surveys.
