| Here’s Matt already hard at work checking sediment levels in catch basins at Maplewood Mall. |
Matt Brust is the first of the new crop of summer
interns and is very excited to be working with the
Ramsey-Washington Metro Watershed staff!
Matt graduated from Vermillion Community College
last spring with a degree in Natural Resource Technology
in Forestry/Wildlife.
During the two summers between semesters, he
volunteered with Conservation Corps Minnesota and
Iowa Apprentice Academy.
- The first summer he worked with the Anoka Conservation District. This was where he
developed a passion for working with water
resources and gathering data.
- During his second summer with the Corps
he worked with the Chisago Soil and Water Conservation District where he learned a lot
about soils and the best management practices
for agricultural benefit.
As the District Water Quality Intern, Matt hopes to
meet new challenges head-on and gain more experience
in the water resource field. He plans to use this experience
to help him reach his long-term career goal of becoming an
Environmental Educator.
Welcome Matt!
