Interns will be tasked to visiting the organization’s sanctuaries spread across the state to inspect them, undertake cursory maintenance, and install elements such as signs, trail markers, picnic tables, fence posts and gates.  Skill and experience with site planning, trail maintenance, and tool use (including chain saws, carpentry tools), are essential. Position(s) location is flexible, car needed.
