WINTHROP — The Kennebec Land Trust has announced its 2020 Lyceum Lecture Series. It’s also taking applications for its 2020 summer intern program. The lecture series topic is Maine Medicinal Plants: Cultural Uses, Ecology, and Botany. Lecutres will take place at 7 p.m. Thursday March 19, 26 and April 2, at the Ladd Recreation Center in Wayne. Speakers will be announced soon. The KLT is also accepting applications for the summer intern program. Aspiriing conservationists may apply at www.tklt.org/internship.
Interns work on trail maintenance and construction, land conservation projects, invasive plant control, educational programming and do general office work such as writing press releases and sending out mailings. Interns will also have the opportunity to assist with environmental education programs at the Vaughan Woods & Historic Homestead vaughanhomestead.org.
Those applying 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.
