[pct-l] Adventurous volunteer opportunity this summer

[Andrew Howley]

Ever wished your hikes could be part of something bigger?


This summer, you can apply to volunteer with Adventure Scientists to
collect bigleaf maple leaf samples from the back country. Geneticists will
then build a DNA database that will be able to reveal the point of origin
of timber that may have been illegally harvested. In the coming years, the
process can be replicated worldwide, deal a major blow to the illegal
timber industry, and help protect our forests everywhere.
