Senior Independent Internships
High school seniors who are interested in the Senior Independent Internship can contact us for information on setting-up a program that interests them. This internship is great for students from FBI that would like to further expand on field collection and research or for new students that would like to conduct or research a topic they are passionate about. Currently, this internship is on hold until Fall 2023. APEC anticipates moving locations this summer and cannot accommodate interns until then. Please email echow@alleypond.org for further details.
Summer 2022 - Senior Intern Anna Hsu
This summer, Anna Hsu conducted an experiment to explore the ecological health of some of the kettle ponds in Alley Pond Park! Benthic macroinvertebrate samples were collected over the course of 5 weeks and analyzed as bio-indicators for our freshwater systems. Water quality monitoring was conducted alongside the sampling to better measure parameters like pH and nutrient levels. The research will help us better understand the state of our urban forest and ponds. Her testing and analyses culminated in this PowerPoint presentation below.
This program is made possible by generous support from the ERM Foundation.
Additional support is also provided by National Grid and the Lily Auchincloss Foundation.
