<b>Chicago Botanic Garden's Conservation and Land Management Mentoring
Program Offered in partnership with the Bureau of Land Management and
the National Parks Service<br>
</b>Are you interested in conservation biology and natural resource
management?<br>
Would you like to gain hands-on experience through a paid
internship?<br>
Chicago Botanic Garden's conservation and land management mentoring
program is seeking to place twenty outstanding college graduates for
five-month paid internships to assist professional staff at Bureau of
Land Management (BLM) state and field offices or National Parks. We
are recruiting suitable applicants who have skills in one or more of
the following areas:<br>
GIS, Insect ID, Forestry, Map and compass, Reptile ID, Soils/geology,
Plant ID, Mammal ID, Fieldwork, Bird ID, Applied ecology, Technical
writing, Species monitoring, Wetland ecology, Conservation policy,
Archaeology, GPS, and Endangered Species Act.<br>
Each intern will receive training on the Endangered Species Act and
related conservation issues at a one-week course. Travel and lodging
for the course will be provided. After training, interns will be
assigned to work with a mentor at priority BLM or NPS sites throughout
the United States; most offices are in the western states. The stipend
for the internship is $1650 per month.<br>
To apply, send a letter of interest, transcripts, resume, and 3
letters of recommendation to the address below by February 15, 2005.
Applicants must have a visa authorized for employment in the United
States of America. Interns will be selected by April 15, 2005. The
training course is in late-May and internships begin immediately
afterward.<br>
