Matthaei Botanical Gardens and Nichols Arboretum
Erika Hasle worked with another intern to create a database of benches and trees within MBG and NA.
The internship helped her develop both GIS skills and database management skills while working with great bosses who were interested in helping her learn. Erika feels the best part about the internship was the focus on helping the students develop skills not just do grunt work.
