Field Notes from 2009 Intern Hillary Hogan
As OPRD's Forestry Intern this summer, I helped in laying the groundwork for a statewide forest inventory of OPRD's parks. Using aeriel photos and ArcGIS, I timber typed the state parks where a forest inventory would be appropriate. To supplement the computer work, I made several day trips with OPRD's Forester to "ground truth" some of our designated stands.
I assisted in timber marking at Silver Falls State Park, timber cruising at Cascadia State Park and assisted in stocking surveys at H.B. Van Duzer.
Working for OPRD this summer has opened a door of career possibilities to me.
Hillary Hogan: Is entering into her junior year at Oregon State University majoring in Forest Operations Management with a minor in business.
