It’s that time again when we put out the word to college juniors, seniors, grad school students and beyond that we’re looking for a summer intern to not only get some hands on experience with us but also make a difference right here in our local community.

In 2010, the internship will include working on the bluebird and butterfly monitoring programs as well as the stream monitoring program. Work will include both indoor projects (e.g. designing and developing programs, conducting research) and outdoor tasks (e.g. monitoring, habitat restoration)

Interns will also support our children’s nature camp for two weeks during the summer and may participate in a habitat restoration project.

We are looking for an intern who will take initiative and apply creativity to follow through on projects while reaching out to our experts to ask for help or input when needed. Because Loudoun Wildlife Conservancy is an all-volunteer organization and we do not have a location that we call ours, this internship does require some independent work.

This is a paid internship, with the hours expected to be approximately 20 per week. For more information and the application information, visit our Loudoun Wildlife Nature Internship page.
