From September 2010 to December 2010, the Student Conservation Association (SCA) placed a Native Plant Corps team (NPC) at Gateway National Recreation Area (GNRA) to manage and mitigate the threat of invasive plants at Sandy Hook, New Jersey. The team worked with the National Park Service to implement an integrated invasive plant management approach using manual, mechanical and chemical methods to remove plant species that are considered threats to biological and cultural resources. The crew of four, consisting of three corps members and one project leader, lived and worked together to provide this service to the park, while at the same time gaining valuable hands-on experience in the environmental conservation field. The team worked towards meeting project goals, as agreed upon by the team leader and natural resource manager. The crew also worked to meet the objectives of the SCA internship, as set by the team leader and project manager.
