Reviews

Sage Grouse Technician

February 2019 - November 2019 • Reno, NV

“Trained you everything you needed to know. Learned valuable skills that can be used in a good majority if wildlife jobs out there. Friendly staff and coworkers. Get to work outdoors and handling sage-grouse. See a lot of other wildlife too.”

Plague Ecology Technician

June 2019 - September 2019 • Wall, SD

“I really enjoyed having hands-on experience contributing to research. I especially appreciated the experience of working in isolated, and sometimes harsh field conditions to better prepare me for future technician positions. I really enjoyed working in cooperation with so many different organizations like the NPS, Prairie Wildlife Research, USGS, and others. I also got to apply knowledge that I had learned in school and was happy to already have had experience working with the traps we were using to catch prairie dogs. ”
