Internship Program Manager, New Canaan Land Trust

NCLT seeks an enthusiastic and self-motivated Manager to lead its seasonal internship programs. The ideal candidate will have a passion for engaging youth in conservation and stewardship work, experience working on a variety of land stewardship projects, and a desire to share their knowledge with the next generation of environmentalists. The Manager’s primary responsibility is to lead interns in completing a variety of land stewardship projects across the Land Trust’s network of 65+ properties. These projects include, but are not limited to, trail construction and maintenance, planting/pruning/watering trees and shrubs, stone wall repair, and invasive species removal. Rainy days are spent at the office, where interns contribute to other aspects of NCLT’s work including event preparation, social media posting, conservation research, website development, and more. These indoor projects are supported by NCLT’s committee chairs. The Manager is also responsible for coordinating both on- and off-site experiential learning opportunities for the interns, including field trips to other local conservation organizations and workshops with environmental professionals. This combination of work and education provides a rewarding experience for our interns, and is bolstered by the strong leadership of the Manager.
