[ESSP] Today: conservation job forum

[Vanessa Paulman]

Conservation work experiences--

This Thursday, the UMass Wildlife Society will be having their meeting and
presenting trips/jobs in conservation and wildlife work. Will include
slides/photos, how to get into this realm of conservation/wildlife work, and a
very valuable chance to see what opportunities exist, directly from some who
have been employed in the very same type of work. Check it out, if your are so
inclined.

Meet at UMass: Holdsworth Hall 305 at 6 pm. I imagine it will be worth being at
if you are interested in the field. From the Fine arts center bus stop, walk
straight past the FAC (on the left side). Take the path just to the right of
the library (sky-scraper building, with construction fencing), to the right of
the parking garage and then veer left, passing by stockbridge (bowker
auditorium), hatch lab and then Holdsworth. Check the UMass site for a map, or
if you happen to be leaving from Hampshire, a bus leaves at 5:40, arrives at 6
and I'll be doing the same and know the route to Holdsworth Hall (the natural
resources and conservation building).

Check out the site: http://www.umass.edu/rso/wildlife/activities.html for more
info on the group.

Some more wisdom from Aldo Leopold's A Sand County Almanac...On the song
springing forth from water

This song of the waters is audible to every ear, but there is other music in
these hills, by no means audible to all. To hear even a few notes of it you
must first live here for a long time, and you must know the speech of hills and
rivers. Then on a still night, when the campfire is low and the Pleiades have
climbed over the rimrocks, sit quietly and listen for a wolf to howl, and think
hard of everything you have seen and tried to understand. Then you may hear it-
a vast pulsing harmony-its score inscribed on a thousand hills, its notes the
lives and deaths of plants and animals, its rhythms spanning the seconds nad
the centuries...The life of every river sings its own song, but in most the
song is long since marred by the discords of misuse...Parks are made to bring
the music to the many, but by the time many are attuned to hear it there is
little left but noise. ~
