Interns Wanted: DCNR Watershed Forestry Team - 2 Intern Positions

DCNR's Watershed Forestry Team is seeking qualified candidates for two internship positions available this fall.

Watershed Forestry interns will work with DCNR’s Riparian Forest Buffer and Lawn Conversion programs to help Pennsylvania meet its federal Chesapeake Bay Goals.

These positions will work with our team to promote riparian forest buffers, conservation landscaping, and upland forest planting best management practices (BMPs) and assist landowners with technical needs such as implementation planning, maintenance, and identifying appropriate funding sources.

This internship opportunity is a perfect match for students wanting to learn about natural resource management, work with private and public landowners, connect with a broad partnership of conservation professionals, and get their hands dirty while improving the landscape for water quality, wildlife habitat, and human communities.

Current undergraduate and graduate students are welcome to apply online by 11:59 pm on October 5, 2021 (extended from the original closing date of 9/28).

Internships start as soon as possible and end by December 31 (there is some flexibility with start and end dates).

This is up to full-time work based in the Rachel Carson State Office Building (Harrisburg, PA) with options for part-time telework available. Travel throughout the Commonwealth is required.
