Description
ACT’s Natural Resource Management Internship program is focused on providing a safe learning environment for natural resource skills and experiences.
Overall Learning Goals for the intern program include:
- To gain experience in land management activities, including invasive species management, preserve management, trail work, thinning, and prescribed fire,
- To develop skills in using equipment used in land management activities,
- To develop professional skills relevant to any professional setting, including time management, communication, and goal-setting
- To build a network of natural resource professionals
- To narrow down what you want in a career
- To learn to identify plants, wildlife, and ecosystems in North Central Florida.
We accomplish these learning goals through participating in projects alongside ACT’s land management team. While there will be formal training for some skills, most training is hands-on in the field. Interns will also set and follow through with individual goals through a Professional Development Plan with guidance from the intern program coordinator.
