Department of Interior Restoration Ecology Internship for Southwest NP

This grant is offering an internship opportunity for 1-2 students to gain experience in restoration ecology by working with various national parks in the Southwest region. The interns will assist in reviewing non-native plant data, compiling GIS data on invasive species, and participating in field projects. The project supports utilizing science to manage land and water resources and adapt to environmental changes. The internship aims to help preserve and restore native habitats in 45 parks by providing hands-on experience and teaching the latest methods for vegetation restoration in the Desert Southwest. Closing date: Aug 24, 2018.

Description:	The overall goal of this project is to give 1-2 student(s) experience in restoration ecology through on-the-ground experience with numerous national parks. B. Project Objectives â¿¿ 1. The intern will work with SWEPMT, USGS RAMPS program, and NPS Sonoran, Southern Plains, and Chihuahuan Inventory and Monitoring Networks to assist in the review and compilation of non-native plant data which is within existing GIS data as well as restoration data. 2. The intern will work with community based working groups to compile existing GIS data on the distribution of invasive species and treatments being completed by partners. 3. The intern will work on field projects as logistics and time allows. This task agreement supports DOI Priority #1.a. Utilize science to identify best practices to manage land and water resources and adapt to changes in the environment. The Southwest EPMTâ¿¿s primary purpose is to meet the Agencyâ¿¿s mission: the preservation of native habitats for the enjoyment of future generations. The Southwest EPMT uses the best and latest scientific knowledge to help 45 parks to preserve and restore native habitats. The student intern will learn from University of Arizona and NPS staff about the latest best methods for restoring native vegetation on parks in the Desert Southwest. The student will get on-the-ground experience in utilizing these methods.
