Hello everyone,
I am looking for a summer job, and figured it wouldn't hurt to post something on here.
I am currently a student at the Stockbridge School of Agriculture, majoring in Arboriculture and Community Forest Management, and I will be graduating in May. I'm heading back to UMass-Amherst in the fall to get my bachelor's in Urban Forestry, so I'm looking for something just for the summer months.
I would like to find a job doing some sort of inventory/GIS work. I worked on a street tree inventory last summer for the city of New Bedford, and would like to find another one for this summer, so I can gain more experience and learn more about how to conduct them. I live in southeastern MA, and would like to find something relatively close (or in the state, at least!), but I am willing to travel.
I am also a climber, and wouldn't mind getting into ornamental pruning, cabling/bracing, lightning protection installation... any climbing that does not involve using a chainsaw in a tree (I have never used a saw off of the ground before, and am not sure how comfortable I would be with it...).
I am open to finding any other type of job in the industry as well, as I am not limited to those areas only. I am willing to learn as much as I can about the tree industry, so if the job looks interesting or if it is something I can learn alot from, I am definitely interested.
If anyone is hiring or knows of any open positions, any information that you may have would be greatly appreciated! I can forward my resume if need be, just send me a message.
Thanks in advance!!

Plus, I'm not ISA certified yet- hopefully next year though!
