Internship Program

We offer several internship opportunities every year. Primarily we offer positions that provide field experience to individuals considering conservation biology, restoration ecology, botany or horticulture as a career.  Mostly these are field-based opportunities involving:

  • endangered species research and monitoring
  • invasive species research
  • rare plant surveys
  • seed collection and processing
  • soil sampling
  • other ecological measurements
  • data entry and maintenance

These field-based internships typically run from mid-April to mid-July each year.  Over the last several years we have hired 7-10 interns, and paid interns approximately $9.00 per hour. Click here for a link to the 2010 Internship opportunities.

Our Ecological Education program has worked with Americorps volunteers for several years.

Other internship opportunities may exist, and may be available throughout the year.  If you would like to dedicate your time to supporting our work, please contact us.  If you cannot commit to an internship program, you may wish to volunteer.
Overheard

"Volunteers are the backbone, heart, and soul of the restoration movement. And whatever the eventual results of their labors may be, working to revive damaged ecosystems is transforming and strengthening their relationship with the rest of nature."

-William K. Stevens, Miracle Under the Oaks
