You will also learn about the conservation significance and goals of various preserves.

These are full-time positions for 12 weeks from Tuesday, May 26 through Friday, August 14, 2026. Applicants should be in college, at the sophomore level or higher, and have a demonstrated interest in restoration ecology or the conservation/management of rare species and ecosystems.
