Timucuan Preserve Natural Resource Management Youth Internships

The National Park Service intends to award a single-source cooperative agreement to the Student Conservation Association for the Timucuan Preserve Natural Resource Management Youth Internships project. The project aims to provide opportunities for youth to learn about the environment by working on natural resource management projects in the Timucuan Ecological and Historic Preserve. The internships will focus on removing invasive plant species, monitoring animal species, and assisting with shoreline restoration. The project will also provide skills training and safety oversight for the interns. Key aspects of the project include: * Recruitment and placement of two interns for 41 weeks * Ongoing staff support and payroll services for the interns * Removal of invasive plant species and monitoring of animal species * Assistance with shoreline restoration and other natural resource management projects * Skills training and safety oversight for the interns * Collaboration with the Timucuan Preserve Interdisciplinary Team and other partner organizations
