This was my first seasonal position with the CT DEP. I performed a myriad of
wildlife, fisheries, and forestry-related duties while employed under the
Habitat Management Program. I participated with a deer drive for a controlled
hunt; cleared culverts and water control structures of beaver debris; and
partook in wood duck box construction and maintenance activities. Wood duck
boxes were monitored, repaired/replaced damaged boxes, and new wood
shavings placed inside boxes; I used a GPS to record box locations. Data was
entered using Microsoft Excel spreadsheet. Miscellaneous office duties and
literature review were also accomplished.
I aided the Furbearer Program by locating collared black bears using radio
telemetry; performed necropsies on fishers and river otters; operated pelt
tagging stations, and assisted with pelt tagging at a private game club fur
auction.
I provided assistance to the Fisheries Division via trout stocking along the
Salmon River.
I assisted the Forestry Division with boundary line marking on state land
(established new state boundary lines and re-marked existing boundaries); this
required the use of a compass and topographic maps; tallied for
tree-harvesting project. Participation in a fire management training course, and
assistance with prescribed burns (leaf blowing a fire line, use of drip torch,
clean up with broom and bladder bags) were also accomplished.
