Short Term Volunteer Field Work Opportunity (Fisheries and Wildlife)

Byron Levan (bmlevan@ncsu.edu) is a graduate student in the FWCB program who is looking for help wrapping up his field work for the season. Most of the work involves sampling forage from soybean fields, naturalized fields, and longleaf communities. This is a great chance for undergrads to get some plant ID experience as well as learn the basics of forage sampling. Byron’s team can provide transportation to and from the site as well as all tools needed. Byron will be doing a lot of work on the weekends, and some on weekdays. Please contact him at the above email if you are interested to see if there’s a day that works for you to assist with the sampling.
