CONSERVATION INTERNS AND FELLOWS
Conservation Interns and Fellows’ service is centered around completing natural resources-related projects within their host site community. Project focus and outcomes vary depending on the host site. To learn more about what some past members have accomplished during their term of service check out the past member projects links on the IPP home page.
“This experience was everything I thought it would be. I was able to develop independently, as well as with the encouragement of my site hosts. I learned valuable skills in natural resource management and recreational management and was able to put those skills to use. It was a deeply enriching experience and I can honestly say it was one of my best decisions to join this program.”
