Stewards of the Woods Internship
Stewards of the Woods is a hands-on internship for students passionate about the environment, education, and outdoor learning. Interns gain real-world experience in three core focus areas—environmental education, conservation, and animal care—with the flexibility to specialize in one area or blend multiple interests. Throughout the program, interns help create and lead environmental education programs for all ages, engage visitors in meaningful connections with nature, and learn the day-to-day operations of a dynamic nature center. Each intern also designs and completes a personalized project aligned with their academic interests and career goals, building practical skills and confidence for a future in conservation, education, or wildlife-related fields.
