    • Timber marking, harvest planning, monitoring and evaluation, and other tasks as assigned.
    • Inter-program experience with biological and prescribed-fire programs (dependent on interest and training).

    The 12-week position is a supervised work and learning experience based at the Carolina Sandhills National Wildlife Refuge, McBee, South Carolina. Additional work occurs at the Pee Dee NWR near Wadesboro, NC.
