WINTHROP — The Kennebec Land Trust is seeking summer interns to work on trail maintenance and construction, land conservation projects, invasive plant control, educational programming and general office work such as writing press releases and sending out mailings for the 2021 season.
Those who are interested should be willing to learn basic plant identification skills, be able to perform physically demanding field work, be comfortable multi-tasking in the office and have an interest in land conservation.
KLT also provides opportunities for interns to conduct independent research focused on conservation and resource management, wildlife and plant ecology, land use history or other relevant topics. In 2021, the trust is specifically looking for students to conduct research focused on:
* Land trust policies regarding siting of solar panels, wind turbines, hydropower facilities and other renewables – a national perspective based on specific land trust projects; * Best practices for developing and managing multi-use trails; * Socially responsible investing – best practices in the non-profit sector.
The trust also welcomes other other project proposals. Students’ studies have the potential to enhance KLT’s educational offerings, and to inform property management plans and our Strategic Conservation Plan. KLT will help students frame research questions and identify properties on which to conduct research.
