Calling future conservation leaders! Westerly Land Trust is now accepting applications for three paid summer internships. 

Open to college students, these hands-on opportunities offer real-world experience in land conservation, stewardship, community engagement, and youth environmental education.

Conservation Programs Intern (CPI)

Supported by the Southeastern New England Educational and Charitable (SNEC) Foundation, two Conservation Programs Interns will support youth environmental education and community engagement during Summer 2026. Interns will assist with outdoor school field trips, our grades K-4 summer camp, Farm Squad, and early childhood nature programs, while also supporting land stewardship through trail maintenance, property monitoring, habitat restoration, and invasive species management. This hands-on internship includes opportunities to engage with sustainable farming at Barlow Nature Preserve and contribute to pollinator and children’s produce gardens.

Land Stewardship Intern (LSI)

The Land Stewardship Intern (LSI) will help build Westerly Land Trust’s long-term capacity by working closely with the Land Stewardship Manager to support land conservation and stewardship efforts.  The LSI will collaborate to resolve any emergent issues on protected properties with high sensitivity and professionalism; document, record, and file pertinent information relating to stewardship visits, issues, and activities on WLT properties; support WLT’s plan for ecological land management, including control of invasive species, native habitat monitoring, and custodial land management; and engage and support stewardship volunteers and other interns.

Happy New Year! 🎊 

Perhaps you’re stepping into 2026 with intention and a long list of resolutions. Or maybe you’re of the mindset that winter is a quiet time for hibernation—you’ll bloom in the spring like the flowers! Either way, the land is waiting for you.

From all of us at the Westerly Land Trust, we wish you the best in 2026! 💚🌱
