We currently have two terrific opportunities available for individuals looking to get their conservation careers off the ground! The Land Conservancy of New Jersey is hiring PAID planning fellows and land steward interns to assist our staff and gain valuable skills and experience in two different busy aspects of our organization's work.
We have had the pleasure of working with hundreds of interns and fellows over the years. Many of them go on to successful careers in environmental work with regional and national nonprofits, all levels of government, and other aspects of natural resource preservation.
Our Planning Fellowship offers graduate students the opportunity to work with our staff for one year as they are immersed in the field of conservation planning and land preservation. Candidates will apply their technical skills and educational experience to learn mapping, data analysis, public outreach, writing open space and environmental inventory plans, and field work. You'll get to visit project sites, meet with local officials, and represent The Land Conservancy when touring local municipalities. This is meaningful, grassroots work with real-world results.
The Land Steward Internship is a little dirtier, but no less satisfying. Stewardship interns help our Stewardship Manager Dennis take care of our preserves all over northern New Jersey, with an emphasis on South Branch preserve, our most active site. Other field work will be needed on various preserves scattered throughout northern New Jersey, from Blairstown in Warren County to Mahwah in Bergen County. Tasks will consist of invasive species control, fence repair, trail maintenance, property inspections, baseline inspections, debris removal, community garden maintenance, preserve boundary posting, mowing and weed trimming, and other upkeep of our preserves.
Both positions offer opportunities to make an impact (literally and figuratively) on the landscape of our great state, gain valuable work experience, become part of a close-knit staff, and plug into our region's conservation community. If this is what you're looking for, APPLY NOW!
