The field of natural resources is incredibly varied. You could be a botanist, forester, ecologist, biologist, hydrologist… the possibilities are endless! But the problem is, most of these jobs aren’t as familiar as others. When a young person is thinking about their future post high school, careers in things like rangeland management or wildlife research are not always considered simply because they’re unknown. Here at Wallowa Resources, we seek to share the world of natural resources with interested high school students every year. In this episode, we cover how WR’s High School HAWK Internship is helping our local youth explore different career paths in natural resources, while building critical job skills and confidence along the way. And by chatting with two of our 2021 interns, Storm Lynch and Rosie Movich-Fields, we’ll get a firsthand perspective of what it’s like to go through a summer in the HAWK program.
