Ever wonder what being a hatchery intern is like? Sam Grella can tell you!

Sam, who's working towards her B.S. in Aquatics and Fisheries, was hired as an intern for the Town of Oyster Bay this summer doing duties like stock tank cleaning, shellfish sorting, silo construction, barrel stocking, and shellfish seeding. Did you know that these seeded shellfish filter between 24-50 gallons of water per day depending on the species?

She was able to learn about the connection humans have with aquatic systems, as well as understanding the work that goes into the maintenance of environmental programs and marine conservation. Go, Sam!

A major milestone has been reached in the effort to restore the American chestnut tree to the American landscape!

USDA APHIS has completed its review of ESF's blight-tolerant Darling 54 American chestnut and determined the trees are unlikely to pose a plant pest risk. While the trees are not yet available to the public, this decision marks the completion of the first major federal regulatory review for the American chestnut and represents a significant step forward in the long-term effort to restore this iconic species to forests and communities across the country.

Check out online student Sherone Smith's summer internship ☀️

As the Parks Operations intern for Battery Park City Authority, she was responsible for updating the operations and maintenance manual, creating a waste diversion document, and lots of collaborating with different services and teams like the horticulture crew.

When she wasn't drafting that up or touring different areas of the city for info about care plans, she was practicing her public science communication through tabling events focused on different types of composting! Way to go, Sherone 😎
