I haven't written much about my new work here, and I suppose it's high time. Although I'm working at an arboretum, it's really more accurate to say I park my computer at an arboretum. My job has to do with 'regional conservation', which means we do a lot of work with land trusts and also partnerships of land trusts trying to conserve more land in an organized way. This weekend we went to Wells, Maine, for a meeting of regional conservation partnerships that my boss, along with the other intern here, organized. My work mostly centers around making maps that will help various groups with their efforts, so I just got to enjoy the fruits of their labor (and videotape the whole thing).
