NwC's 2008 Interns

Zach Wallace is our Intern for the 2008 Field Semester. Zach is a field biologist, naturalist and musician.  Originally from Michigan, he graduated from Bard College in 2005, with a double-degree in Environmental Science and Music.  Attending the Landscape and Livelihood field semester in 2003 was a defining moment in his education.  Since college he has traveled the country playing music and working as a biologist on birds, turtles and forest ecology.  He recently earned his Wilderness EMT-B certification.  He returned to the Swan Valley this past winter to assist with Winter Field Studies and is excited to be around again for Landscape and Livelihood.


Cori Stanek joined NwC as our intern for the summer of 2008. Cori is currently a student and Northland Environmental Liberal Arts College in Ashland, Wisconsin, where she will be completing a degree in Environmental Studies/Community Organizing next spring. Cori is from Minnesota and was a student with Landscape & Livelihood in the fall of 2007. A true Minnesota girl at heart, she enjoys the world through a paddle, a saddle, a backpack, a paintbrush, and a pen.
