If you're in Wisconsin or Minnesota this summer, don't climb any trees...
I was going through my listserve e-mails looking for ecology related jobs, and I found this in one of the job descriptions:
"Some of the work will involve basic forest inventory, while other efforts will include various measurements of leaves retrieved from the forest canopy. At least one of the field assistants should be experienced and comfortable using a 12-gauge shotgun, which will be used to shoot leaves out of the tree canopies."
