The general objectives for academic and work-study interns include: developing an enhanced knowledge of western Washington prairie-oak woodland ecosystems; developing an enhanced understanding of the scientific process (developing and testing hypotheses, experimental design, collecting and analyzing data, writing reports); developing an increased understanding of how a non-profit conservation organization works; and experiencing the translation of scientific results into effective restoration and land management practices. The strategies used to meet these objectives will partially depend on the intern’s availability and interest, however, the program requires that the intern spend 10-35hrs/week (spread between 2-5 days) on science-related work at the Center for Natural Lands Management. Academic credit may be given for specific programs.
