Southern Wisconsin Bird Alliance Internship Opportunities
Ecological Restoration Interns
The prairies, woodlands, savannas, and wetlands of Southern Wisconsin Bird Alliance sanctuaries get a huge boost each summer through our two paid ecological restoration internship programs. Interns are based at Faville Grove Sanctuary in Jefferson County and at Goose Pond Sanctuary in Columbia County. Thanks to the Caerus Foundation for their generous support of this program!
Applications for our ecological restoration internship program open in December of each year.
Diversity in Conservation Interns
We have also been glad to welcome an intern through the Natural Resource Foundation of Wisconsin’s Diversity in Conservation program for the past few years. This intern joins our staff, both in the office and in the field, to explore the many facets of conservation work for four days each week, then spends one day each week learning with the program’s cohort. Thanks to the Natural Resources Foundation of Wisconsin for their generous support and collaboration on this program!
Applications for the DICI program open in November of each year.
