The U.S. National Park Service is looking for volunteers to help with the Elwha Restoration Project.
Volunteers would be helping with plant propagation and revegetation monitoring in the de-watered reservoirs of Lake Aldwell and Lake Mills.
Students who volunteer will monitor 50 percent of the seed plots and the primary investigator will be monitoring the rest of the 50 percent.
Joshua Chenowetch of the National Park Service said they don’t have the manpower to do it themselves.
The volunteers can expect to work for a week in June, July and August.
Chenowetch said the volunteers need to be able to work all three months, they want the same set of eyes on every plot throughout the summer.
Chenowetch is currently working to get internships and credit for students through Peninsula College.
“The details have not yet been worked out,” said PC instructor Barbara Blackie.
“Credits and such will depend on the nature of the work, student’s interest, and departmental and administrative approval.”
Chenowetch also said that students could negotiate other internships.
Individuals interested in volunteering or applying for an internship should contact Joshua Chenowetch at (360) 565-3079.
