| Description: | The principal purpose of this agreement is to support and stimulate work, education, and/or training opportunities for conservation minded interns. This project will provide an opportunity to participate in resource conservation by assisting with burned area restoration (BAR) and habitat restoration through the removal and control of exotic vegetation. Interns will participate in surveying, monitoring, removal, and control of exotics on a consistent basis within a burned area in order to help promote the reestablishment and growth of native vegetation, restore wildlife habitat(s), and restore the natural ecosystem of the burned area.
