Wildlife and landscape stewardship intern

June - August 2019 • Warrenton, VA

What I liked

I loved working in the field and getting behind the scenes of how a business worked in the environmental industry. I learned a lot about native plants and helped run a citizen science pollinator study in a native garden. I also got to learn about conservation easements and a little bit about the positives and struggles with that.

What I wish was different

I wish I got to do more, honestly. I would love to have spent more time there and continued my experience, it was invaluable.

Advice

Try everything! They have so many employees who specialize in different niches and they all have a lot of great experiences to offer.
