Harvey Lab, the Washington DNR, Tulalip Tribes, UW Climate Impacts Group, US Forest Service and National Park Service:
• Post–fire vegetation measurements in recently burned forests across the western WA and OR Cascades (North
Cascades National Park, Mt Baker–Snoqualmie, Gifford Pinchot, Willamette, and Mt Hood National Forests)
• Measuring long–term forest plots in Cedar Flats & Sister Rocks Research Natural Areas (near Cougar & Carson, WA)
We acknowledge our work in the PNW is located on homelands of Indigenous peoples, and we have a responsibility to reflect on the histories
of dispossession and forced removal of the original inhabitants, as well as the resilience and vibrancy of their cultures today.
DUTIES: Field assistants will be collecting data on forest structure and composition. Tasks will involve:
(a) navigating variable terrain to forest plots using maps and GPS; (b) identifying plant species; (c) tagging, measuring, and
mapping trees; (d) assessing tree mortality and regeneration; and (e) measuring post–fire fuels and carbon
