Valles Caldera National Preserve

Abstract

This summer, I had the fortunate opportunity to work as an entomology intern at the Valles Caldera National Preserve in the Jemez Mountains of New Mexico. My internship has been full of challenges and adventures, and I am incredibly thankful to have embarked on such a remarkable journey. Now, at summer's close, I look back on my summer experience with the deepest fondness and respect for the entire crew at VCNP, my professors at Sewanee, and my two-year running internship partner, Arden Jones.
