Hey everyone!<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

This is my last blog post for my internship. I am appreciative of this internship for the experiences that I have had. It has been super exciting to see the projects I have been working on wrap up. For example, some of the projects included\u00a0presenting to the Tillamook\u00a0County\u00a0Extension staff, finishing a water resources guide, and tabling at the county fair.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Although most of my internship was done remotely, I drove\u00a0to\u00a0Tillamook a couple times to work and meet some folks in person. It was refreshing to spend time there and actually get to work in person. I helped with a couple\u00a0of\u00a0summer camps and went on a few industry tours, learning more about the community. I\u00a0at a\u00a0table at the Tillamook\u00a0County\u00a0Fair,\u00a0talking about soil horizons and showing off the soil samples that I collected from around Tillamook. Not too many people showed up, but those that did were interested in talking to me\u00a0to\u00a0learn more about what I was doing. At the fair, I also got to hang out in the\u00a0Extension\u00a0Master Gardener demonstration garden,\u00a0which looks gorgeous despite them not being able to spend a ton of time working there\u00a0due to\u00a0COVID-19\u00a0restrictions.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The\u00a0North Coast food producer listserv that I helped create and manage\u00a0has\u00a0been up and running for over a month.\u00a0This\u00a0listserv\u00a0shares resources with small food producers of the North Coast and will\u00a0generally\u00a0be\u00a0a network that folks will\u00a0hopefully utilize more in the future.\u00a0Overall, this project helped me to grow my confidence in email communications with a broad audience. The few responses that I received from the listserv have been overwhelmingly positive as folks respond to ask me questions or make comments. We have also had partner organizations contact us to send out resources,\u00a0which is exciting because it means that we are beginning to be recognized in some parts of the community. I am looking forward to watching the listserv grow and change now that it has gotten started and since my internship will be ending.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

My big project for this summer\u00a0was\u00a0writing a water resources guide for landowners. I spent a lot of time researching and reaching out to organizations on the North Coast to try and get the most up-to-date, accurate information available. You can read it\u202f<\/span>here<\/span><\/a>.\u00a0In addition to learning how to professionally reach out for information and feedback, I also strengthened my time-management skills throughout the summer. I am excited to share this resource out that I have been working on all summer.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Overall, I am grateful to have had this opportunity to be a Tillamook Extension intern. Getting to know the staff in the office and the community has been a great learning experience. I look forward to taking the skills that I learned and applying them to my career and education moving forward.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
