Summarize Your
Experience:

 I traveled to different predetermined sample points within Itasca county and collected forestry information as part of a three man biophysical inventory crew.

What I liked most about
the job:

My favorite aspect of the job was being outside in the forest everyday, with no one to bother me. I also enjoyed the independence of the job.

Challenges on the job:

The most challenging part of my job was how repetitive it was I performed the same exact activities everyday the only thing that helped was that we changed location every 2-3 days. The second most challenging part was slogging thru the swamps on a constant basis.
