This letter serves as a formal recommendation for Carey Berendsen and her application to your institution.  As an intern for the Yellowstone Arboretum Carey displayed many strengths that would support any future paths that she may pursue in the fields of  science and nature.

​

Carey accepted this internship and welcomed a new occupational field, aboriculture. She adapted right away to its methodology and was quick to take control of the process and take the initiative to complete the work at hand. Carey was also quick to question that methodology and showed eagerness in applying that learned subject to future horticultural situations.

​

Overall, Carey's time spent at the arboretum proved to be an asset to our institution and the experience she garnered should be a valuable asset to her life plans. As a result, I highly recommend Carey and her endeavors for any future education with your institution of higher learning.
