Rebecca Kibler - Student Conservation Association Intern joins New Hampshire NRCS

This summer, the New Hampshire Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) signed a Memorandum of Understanding with the Student Conservation Association (SCA) allowing us to partner and bring their conservation-based interns to assist New Hampshire NRCS.  SCA is based in Charlestown, New Hampshire and provides opportunities for students to gain hands-on education and work experience with natural resource agencies throughout the United States.

The New Hampshire NRCS has recently added the final of three SCA interns to serve 12-month internships in the Durham State Office.  Rebecca Kibler arrived on October 1, 2007 and will be serving as a Conservation Easement Monitoring Specialist working with the Conservation Easement Monitoring Team.

Originally from a small town in western Massachusetts, Rebecca graduated from the University of Rhode Island (URI) in 2005 with a Bachelor of Science degree in Coastal and Marine Policy and Management.  While a student at URI, Rebecca was awarded a fellowship position with the Narragansett Bay Estuary Program through URI's coastal fellowship program.  After graduation, Rebecca took a 12-month SCA position as a coastal resources planner with the New York State Department of State Division of Coastal Resources in Albany, New York.  Rebecca spent the past year as a substitute teacher in both elementary and high schools near her hometown.  Rebecca’s other interests include literature (reading and writing), photography, and hiking.
