Summary of Work

My job this summer consisted primarily of field work on the US Forest Service Northeast

Sands Project (Principal investigators: Deahn Donner; Christel Kern; and Brian

Sturtevant). Work was done on location in study sites at Dunbar Barrens State Natural

Area, Spread Eagle Barrens State Natural Area, and the Chequamegon-Nicolet National

Forest Lakewood – Laona District. I worked with three other field technicians: Ashley

Sharp (team leader), Sara Kelso, and Folasade Shafer. Heather Jensen (Biological

Scientist, NRS-7) was also assisting us on the project by providing initial guidance with

protocols and navigation to study sites via GPS.

The overall goal of the Northeast Sands Project (full title: “Restoring Northern Dry Forest

and Barren Communities: Northeast Sands Project”) is to gauge the progress of

ecological restoration in Northern Wisconsin. My part of the project was to take data on

the “reference plots,” or the plots that would not be treated and would serve as a baseline

for treated (burned or harvested) areas. Such data included the density of vegetation like

shrubs, saplings, and mature trees; duff and litter depth; specific vegetation data like

diameter of trees and height; and pollinator count.

I also assisted with other projects during my time at NRS, which included weighing fuels

(small woody debris) and drying them. For the week of July 29 to August 3, I went up to

Ashland to work on the Moquah project, which is a similar project to the Northeast Sands,

but over a longer term.

What I Learned

Overall, I viewed my internship as more of a learning experience than anything. The

biggest thing I learned was how to identify plants. Not only did I learn the names for plants,

but I also learned the NRCS code for plant species. We worked with several different field

guides for plants in Wisconsin, Michigan, and Minnesota, including some that USFS

employees had drafted. In the office, there was also one “anatomy” textbook for plants,

including labels of different shapes for leaves, stems, petioles, seeds, et. al.

Although I learned the names and codes for several plant species, I felt that was only a

superficial part of learning plant species. I wanted to know more about how different plants

are used, especially by Native American peoples. When I visited Ashland for July 4th

weekend, I told my cousin from Bad River about how I knew all these plant names, but I

don’t know the uses for many plants (the only one I did remember was that of mullein

(Verbascum spp.) after Heather and Deahn told us it made good toilet paper…) On a walk

with him and a friend, they pointed out several other different plant species, in addition to

telling me how certain plants are used by Natives.

4

Another major part of my job was learning how to use forestry field equipment. While

some tools like shovels and rulers were obviously not new to me, there were several items

that I had not been acquainted with. For example, when we had to measure tree

diameters at breast height (DBH), we had to use a tape measure that had two sides: one

with normal markings in centimeters, and the other side was the diameter, or the

circumference divided by pi. At first glance, I thought the diameter side was the inches

side, so I just took circumferences with the “normal side.” I was puzzled about why they

were calling the circumference the “diameter” when we were actually measuring all the

way around the trees. Eventually, I learned the reason, after a brief confusion with my

coworkers.

Finally, our field days were 10 hours long, 4 days a week. We were hiking through woods

with no trails set up, trying to navigate to the plots. As a very basic rule, we needed to

have enough water, sunscreen, and lunch to make the hikes. It’s amazing how far I could

hike, knowing that I needed to accomplish something at the destination. If I was hiking

without a clear goal, I wouldn’t have the motivation to go faster or try to endure longer.

Personal Reflections

I saw this summer as a continuation of last summer and a way to jump into my future

career as a tribal fish and wildlife biologist. Last summer, I worked at Great Lakes Indian

Fish and Wildlife Commission (GLIFWC), on the Bad River reservation, as an Inland

Fisheries Intern. Although I am an enrolled Bad River tribal member, I did not know

enough about Ojibwe culture. I grew up in Northern Virginia, hundreds of miles away from

my tribal relatives. I had visited the Bad River reservation once in 2002 and again in 2010.

Last summer, the summer of 2015, was my formal introduction to the Ojibwe community

(as well as living independently in a non-college setting).

As an Inland Fisheries Intern at GLIFWC, I learned not only about the work biologists do,

but also about Ojibwe culture from attending inter-tribal council meetings and other

community events. Before I worked at GLIFWC, I was uncertain about what career path

I wanted to pursue. My experience last summer sparked my desire to work with tribes as

a fish and wildlife biologist. Working with tribes would allow me to see the intersection of

science, policy, and culture.

Additionally, last fall, my experience and newfound interests propelled me to apply for

graduate schools. I chose to attend the University of Michigan for a Master of Science in

Conservation Ecology and Environmental Justice and will start classes in September. For

my master’s project, I would like to work with tribal communities and craft a solutions-

oriented study about conservation from an indigenous point of view.

5

In a conversation with Dr. Donner (see page 33), I learned how Traditional Ecological

Knowledge (TEK) is studied widely in the US Forest Service and other organizations.

Working during this summer has refined my interest in TEK, particularly due to identifying

plant species. I want to learn about plants, beyond what people call them. Unfortunately,

I did not get to work with tribal communities for this past summer, so I could not learn

about the many uses of native plant species. Nonetheless, I benefitted from working with

a wide-scale ecological study and I learned skills that will prove useful for my master’s

project.

*coworkers had to drive back to

Rhinelander office due to a

miscommunication* coworker

said she’d text me info about

plots I assumed she’d text

other coworker but it turns out other

20

coworker’s phone doesn’t work.

Apparently, some stuff was at

the Rhinelander office that

coworker needed for project

sampling.

Slowed the project down a

bit.

Conflict could have been

resolved by coworker emailing

me the info instead of texting

me. I had my phone on airplane

mode so as to not use up data

charges.

On coworker’s side of it, I

should have checked my texts

since she didn’t text other

intern.

Chalking it down to a

miscommunication.

I didn’t know she would

only be texting me, she didn’t

realize a better way to get in

touch with me was email.

*Didn’t go back to Rhinelander

– somehow got the plot info &

bought bags from store

Plan Ecology

Fire stuff maybe?

History of CNNF

ALSO tribal

relations

*Contact Archer abt

GLIFWC*

22

personal interview w/ Deahn

6/27/2016

QUESTIONS ABT PROJ

Purpose of ref plots? Will

they be treated or are they set up

as a “constant”/”control”?

NO. Ref plots are for checking

when treated plots are “fully

restored” after treatment

So how are comparing the

plots? To themselves pre/post

treatment? As a whole? How

comparing to ref plots?

ANOVA. Can do multiple

comparisons. Nested groups.

When/where is treatment?

Dunbar & Spread Eagle? Why refs

in CNNF?

No refs in CNNF, mainly in

Dunbar & Spread Eagle

33

Sunday 7/10 – just doing a little light reading… Wale, Thomas R, ed. 2002. “Fire, Native Peoples, and the Natural Landscape. Island Press. Book Nardi, James B. 2007. “Life in the Soil.” The University of Chicago Press. Book. Let’s start with Chapter 1 in Vale… “Humanized Landscape” NOT “pristine landscape” (xiii) focuses on NA modification of western states was pre-Euro America human-modified or natural? Roosevelt & Muir say natural Vale proposes intermediate Gradients: a) intensity, b) spatial how far away from settlement, c) temporal how long after

abandonment

Simple answer: did the environmental processes proceed with help from humans or nature? *Advocates of the pristine natural landscape respect the dichotomy

34

of humans in nature, while

people who like

humanized & developed

landscapes see the

human-nature dichotomy

as destructive my

opinion okay it makes

sense, but I never thought

of it that way. Usually I

think of the dichotomy as

belonging to the

“humanized” group

because to want to

develop a landscape is to

make a choice of humans

over nature. Maybe there

are gradients of these

kinds of people, too –

those who want to keep

the landscape pristine &

free of humans certainly respect the dichotomy; and those who want to bulldoze

everything are like the first group – they are making a choice of “one or the

other.”

BIG THEME: man’s role in the natural world – separate or integrative?

Northeast & Southwest huge pop of Native

35

In the West, Native peoples only modified a tiny fraction of the landscape (14)

Even agricultural activities were efficient (17)

Doolittle’s continuum of plant-people interactions: [Agriculture Cultivation Encouragement Protection Gathering]

Cultivation = spreading seeds & transplanting woody plants (eg rockpiles for agave) and palm transplants in CA)

Let’s see how far I get in the Nardi book:

Soil = organic + mineral

humus = organic part of soil dark!

holds nutrients & water, gives soil its crumbly texture key for fertility

diggers mix up soil
