Bristol Aggie NRM

A December sunset over the Taunton River and the Pine Knoll at Bristol Aggie.

Ten alumni were kind enough to spend this morning with us. They represented various environmental professionals and graduate and undergraduate programs. (See tags on photos. )

The alumni spent two hours mingling with our students discussing the demands and expectations of environmental professionals and college students.

Unlike biologists, camera traps can work continuously in remote areas for weeks on end.  These cameras were set at the Smith Farm property with our friends at Dartmouth Natural Resources Trust.

As usual, the Mass Wildlife personnel put on an outstanding educational display for the NRM juniors and seniors.  The history of bald eagle conservation in Massachusetts, the eagle banding system, and the importance of morphometric data collected were explained as the crew set to work.

We are very thankful to the staff of the Mass Wildlife Southeastern Region.  They go above and beyond.

Speakers are asked to describe their jobs and discuss their favorite parts of their jobs.  We also request that they discuss their least favorite and most challenging parts of their work and describe the professional paths - as wandering as some may be.  

.

Stephanie Vail-Muse described the challenges of working with difficult situations and highlighted some of her more interesting projects. She explained the professional necessity of interpersonal and writing skills and described her career path to her current position and offered some suggestions on seeking a career with the US Fish and Wildlife Service.

@mass.wildlife @usfws @rwpzoo @newenglandaquarium

toured our facilities in the @bristolaggie Center for Science and the Environment (CSE) to brainstorm and help develop best practices for our participation in the joint  @zoos_aquariums - US Fish & Wildlife Service - @turtlesurvival  program to help protect our native turtles from poachers.  The expertise in the room was staggering and tremendously helpful.  We came up with many useful answers and many more important questions.  I am sure that we will have some more great conversations.  

.

Thank you all for your help.  It is very encouraging to know that we are all in this together.
