Conservation and Land Management Internship Program
The Conservation and Land Management Internship Program provides a unique internship experience to college graduates. Interns learn new skills, experience real-world land management and conservation, and develop connections that can lead to future employment. Each year, between 70 and 85 interns are hired to work closely with federal biologists in the Bureau of Land Management, National Park Service, USDA Forest Service, and other federal agencies. The CLM program invests in young people and builds on their enthusiasm and capacity to make a substantial contribution to protecting the environment. The majority of internships focus on projects in botany or wildlife-related fields, or combinations that have involved monitoring or assessing threatened and endangered species. Interns have also worked in fire ecology, fisheries, livestock utilization, and native plant materials. Most recently, internships have involved native seed collecting that will contribute to seed banks or restoration activities. For more information and to apply for an internship, please visit the CLM website. To learn about projects that current and previous interns have participated in, please visit the CLM Blog at www.blog.clminternship.org.
