[00:00:06.830]My name is Justin,
[00:00:07.890]I'm a fisheries and wildlife major,
[00:00:09.660]with a minor in urban forestry at Nebraska.
[00:00:12.920]Urban forestry is maintaining trees in cities and towns.
[00:00:15.970]This summer I have a internship
[00:00:18.060]at the Nebraska Forest Service at Horning State Farm.
[00:00:20.840]At Horning State Farm we are maintaining the property
[00:00:23.970]and assisting researchers with their test plots.
[00:00:29.070]At Horning State Farm we do all sorts of work
[00:00:30.840]from using tree shears to clear forests,
[00:00:33.200]to helping our research technicians
[00:00:35.650]create new cultivars of hazelnuts.
[00:00:38.029](thrashes bushes) (reverse alarm beeps)
[00:00:41.329]With my internship here at Horning Farm
[00:00:42.670]I've had experience using bobcats and tractors,
[00:00:45.530]full size chainsaws, all sorts of tree experience,
[00:00:49.050]and I think that they'll be very helpful
[00:00:50.570]when coming in to find a job in the future.
[00:00:53.160](chainsaw roars)
[00:00:58.901]My forestry classes at Lincoln
[00:01:00.470]have been my most fun classes.
[00:01:02.070]Unlike other classes we're outside
[00:01:04.230]and our lives are walking around looking at trees.
[00:01:07.810]Certainly you should study forestry because it's fun,
[00:01:09.830]you're outside, and there's a lot of demand for arborists.
[00:01:12.880]This is our edible wind break.
[00:01:14.320]We'll be planting some more hazelnuts
[00:01:16.010]in between the walnut trees.
[00:01:17.740]I like urban trees because it's a lng term investment
[00:01:20.390]that may even outlive me.
[00:01:22.500]Come climb trees with me at Nebraska.
