Are you a tree hugger?

The vegetation team at Hubbard Brook Experimental Forest in northern New Hampshire is looking for three enthusiastic, physically fit, outdoor oriented students to join our team from 3 June – 16 Aug 2024. The job entails 39 hour work week in the woods and includes housing in a cooperative setting.

This season, our main focus will be re-surveying tree sizes in three long-term studies: Watershed 5 (whole-tree harvested in winter 1983-4), Eddy Flux Tower tree plots and our primary production reference plots. Lots of time in the forest with surprises and mysteries to solve in these re-measures.

We will also be engaging in a project on northern red oak regeneration in the White Mountain National Forest on stands that have been thinned or thinned and prescribed burned.
