The War on Weeds
(WOW) Project is a "learn by doing" summer internship.
WOW employs students for a six-week period to map
noxious weeds on the INL using Global Positioning System (GPS)
units and to create weed maps for the Idaho State Department of
Agriculture.
During the War on
Weeds Project interns will learn how to:
Identify
noxious weeds.
Become
familiar with the basic functions in ArcView mapping software.
Know
how to manipulate Global Positioning System (GPS) units and
gather data.
To be eligible to
participate in the High School Summer War on Weeds Project, interns
must be high school students who are at least 16 years old and in
good academic standing. Training (GPS and noxious weed) will be provided
during the internship.
