More on these later.<\/p>\n<p>Today was my first day at the second of two half-time placements: the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.iceagetrail.org\/\">Ice Age Trail Alliance<\/a>. As one of the twenty-eight National Scenic and Historic Trails, the Ice Age Trail Alliance dovetails nicely with my work at the Partnership for the National Trails System. In fact, as I catalogued articles in the Ice Age Trail&#8217;s quarterly newsletter, <em>Mammoth Tales<\/em>, I noticed many names I already knew, including Gary Werner, my boss at the Partnership. Ahh, it feels like home already.<\/p>\n<p>Looks like I&#8217;ll be working partly on the article catalog and partly on organizing the IAT&#8217;s archives (something I know how to do pretty well already thanks to my work with the Sierra Club.)<\/p>\n<p>So there you have it: a fully-employed professional volunteer.
