Each student will be placed with a natural resource scientist or manager for 9.5 week field experience/internship. Students will learn methods used by natural resource professionals and community planners in the field and office and be responsible for contributing to real-world projects. About 30% of past interns have been offered employment by mentoring agencies as a result of their field experience. Due to the many logistics and planning requirements of this program, participation requires cooperation and a spirit of adventure. Interns receive $2,000 over 10 weeks; mileage reimbursment for travel to program events; and most interns are provided housing.
