What strikes you most about your workplace? When I first walked into the main building of the San Dieguito River Park organization, I noticed how spacious and bright it was. There were many windows and doors that let in the sunlight and gave a full view of the trees, plants, and wildlife all around the office. SDRP's main building is located near Lake Hodges, which is a part of the San Dieguito watershed. It is surrounded by native wildlife, plants and animals alike, making it the ideal environment in which to learn more about nature conservation at the local level. What strikes you most about your colleagues? All of my colleagues at the San Dieguito River Park are some of the most passionate and dedicated individuals I've met. From this first day, it is clear to me that all of the work they do to keep the park functioning the way it does is driven by great care for and a sense of responsibility to the environment. I admire the fact that they all care about the impact of their work so much. What strikes you most about the job you're doing? As of right now, my job is to help maintain information kiosks all around the park. As and when the flyers and regulatory signs on these kiosks get faded or weather-worn, they are replaced with newer ones. This is part of my task. I am also helping add to the interactive aspects of the park that help people learn more about the wildlife they see. My particular job in this aspect is to write interpretive descriptions of native flora and fauna in ways that visitors can understand and relate to. What are you looking forward to during your internship? I am definitely looking forward to doing more field work in the park, and to visiting different sites where I'll be working. Every day I go to my internship, I hope to learn something new.
