FW: Internship Description
William Livingston
Here’s a potential MF project if you are interested.
The US Forest Service and the Maine Forest Service want to develop management recommendations for cultivating chaga on birch trees. Chaga is a decay fungus, and it produces a fungal structure on birch that is harvested and used to produce health and medicinal products. A company has started to inoculate trees to produce fungal structures, but little is known about how these stands should be managed.
To help get the work started, the Maine Forest Service is advertising a Student Internship for this summer. It doesn’t pay a lot, but the internship would provide an excellent experience for learning more about the Maine forest and would give you a chance to begin developing a Master of Forestry project.
If interested, please let me know.
