For five weeks this summer, selected participants will be employed by Lomakatsi’s hands-on workforce training and environmental education program. Students will be paid $12 an hour to conduct work projects four days per week.
Under the guidance of Lomakatsi’s staff and guest natural resource specialists, you’ll take part in stewardship activities that may include ecological restoration, technical forestry, botany, invasive species management, ecological monitoring, fire ecology, stream restoration, watershed management, wildlife habitat restoration, trail maintenance, soil science, and more.
Engaging in positive work experience and teamwork development, you’ll will develop professional skills, a sense of responsibility and self-sufficiency, a long-term community service and stewardship ethic, knowledge and increased interest in natural resource academic study, and the ability to obtain future employment in natural resource management.
