USFWS Grant for WDNR: Undergraduate Wildlife Management and Conservation Internships

WDNR has opportunities for summer internships in wildlife and forestry research, wildlife management and endangered resources work. WDNR’s work with federal partners such as the US Fish and Wildlife Service, the US Geological Society and the US Department of Agriculture�s Forest Service will provide the interns with varied experiences from both the state and federal agency perspectives. The interns would work through the summer and then be given the opportunity to attend The Wildlife Society’s annual conference in the fall where they will meet wildlife professionals from across the country and attend mentoring workshops to develop professional networks and explore additional natural resource career options.

WDNR’s efforts are in alignment with the Youth in Natural Resource Careers initiative need for programs that encourage and develop young people with the appropriate skill sets and interests to become conservation professionals.
