All
Every year there are multiple opportunities for internships within the
Golden Gate National Recreation Area. There are three openings starting in
late October in the Presidio. Please forward to interested students. Most of
our interns are recent college graduates or career changers interested in
gaining experience in the habitat restoration field.
Housing is provided and $25 per day is provided. Most of the work is in the
field.
*Opportunity Description: *
The Presidio Park Stewards program strives to protect and enhance the
remaining natural areas of the Presidio. The Presidio is part of the Golden
Gate National Recreation Area and is the largest urban national park in the
United States. Its dunes, grasslands, and wetlands are home to rare and
endangered plant and wildlife species. Habitat restoration projects are
completed through the support of community volunteers.
*Responsibilities *
• Coordinate weekly volunteer programs and service projects for youth and
adult groups.
• Implement key components of restoration action plans including invasive
plant control and native plant community revegetation.
• Manage your own stewardship site in the Presidio and maintain program
tools, facilities, and equipment.
• Conduct adaptive management and monitoring activities for rare and
endangered plant species.
• Assist in educating volunteers on the concepts of ecological restoration,
biodiversity, invasive species, and conservation biology.
