This grant is for the Bureau of Land Management California (BLM CA) to establish an internship program designed for young people, particularly recent college graduates in biological sciences. The program aims to provide hands-on experience in natural resource management, focusing on conservation biology, endangered and sensitive species protection, and the sustainable management of public lands. Interns will assist BLM Field Offices across California with crucial field-level tasks related to the agency’s mission of fostering flourishing biological communities on diverse public lands, which host over 130 threatened and endangered species. This initiative not only supports BLM’s resource protection goals but also offers valuable professional development opportunities for aspiring land management specialists.

| Description: | Develop internship program for young people to learn about natural resources, specifically conservation biology, endangered species, conservation of sensitive species, and management of public lands. Through this program, each BLM Field Office in California would be able to mentor one or two interns per year over the life of this agreement.
The public lands contain diverse natural communities that support a large number of native plants and animals, including more than 130 threatened and endangered species. BLMs resource protection mission, and associated strategic plan, calls for BLM field managers to create habitat conditions that enable biological communities to flourish. To help complete the field level tasks associated with accomplishing this performance measure, and to provide recent college graduates with opportunities to gain hands-on land management work experience, some CA-BLM offices host interns trained in the biological sciences for five or ten month intervals. |
