Mason Nussbaum (related story) spent two weeks of her Montana Department of Natural Resources and Conservation internship — June 3 to June 14 — at XC Ranch south of Boulder, where she helped change water lines, participated in “Range Day” on June 10 and “set a high bar for interns in the future,” according to host Steve Carey.
“Mason was a hell of a worker,” Carey said. “She asked lots of relevant and smart questions … [and] strived to learn everything she could. [She] got to see a heated discussion at a Forest Service meeting that she said gave her a lot of insight to the real issues the producers face.
Carey’s father Tom Carey had a similar impression of Nussbaum.
