Good morning bloggers!

| Excited about trail work in Denali National Park. |
My name is Sydney Eberth and I recently joined the Save the
Harbor/Save the Bay team as an Environmental Policy Intern. I graduated from
the University of Vermont last May with a degree in Environmental Science. Upon
graduation, I jetted off to Alaska to spend the entire summer working with the
Student Conservation Association. During my time with the SCA I was able to
participate in a number of projects including trail construction, trail
maintenance, invasive species
management, as well as
a number of re-vegetation and demolition projects. I was also very lucky to
work in multiple different locations throughout Alaska, one of them being
Denali National Park and Preserve. |

Since returning home
from Alaska last September, I have had the privilege of volunteering with the
Marine Mammal department at the New England Aquarium. When I am there, my day
consists of preparing food for the animals, cleaning exhibits and toys,
enriching (or “play time” with) the seals with toys we created, and also
interacting with aquarium guests. When I am not at the aquarium spending time
with seals and sea lions, I am with dogs at the dog daycare I work for.
Needless to say I love animals!
I would like to ultimately be working with marine mammals
whether directly as part of a rescue team or behind the scenes, fighting for
them as a policy maker. I took this internship at Save the Harbor/Save the Bay
to learn about working with a non-profit organization and also more about
policy work. I am looking forward to the time that I spend with Save the
Harbor/Save the Bay and know that it will be an amazing, educational
experience.
