- Explore the fields of horticulture, biology, environmental science, tree care, and carpentry
- Learn about the National Park Service mission and visit multiple national parks in the Northeast region
- Provide support to parks through hands-on, outdoor landscape stewardship projects
This is a paid experience, for 28 hours per week, from July 9 - August 23, 2018. Hourly rates start at $11.00 per hour. Public transportation expenses to/from work are reimbursed.
