EcoLab interns learn to:

- Identify, prioritize, and remove invasive species

- Calculate, mix, and apply herbicides responsibly for invasive species control

- Install native plants

- Maintain trails, deal with erosion issues, remove fallen trees

Additionally, you’ll have the opportunity to participate in long-term research projects such as Eastern Box Turtle research and benthic macroinvertebrate water surveying, contributing to valuable ecological data collection. 

Throughout the school year, EcoLab Interns may also help lead educational field trips, providing environmental education to visitors.

This paid internship for current Â鶹ֱ²¥ students is an excellent opportunity to gain the skills needed for a career in Restoration Ecology and Land Management while making a positive difference on our local environment.
