Summary
I am a student searching for internships to fill my work experience and learn about forestry in a hands-on setting. I am studying Forest Management at Oregon State and in the summers live in Hillsboro. I grew up always driving by Stimson Lumber Mill in Gaston and have been very interested in a job. I am not only looking for a brief internship but I am looking for a possible career down the road here.
