College Internships

Appalachian Headwaters offers a full time, 10 week, internship for college undergraduate students each summer June-August. Application instructions are posted each year in January and applications close by February. This internship provides hands-on applied field training in wildlife ecology, plant ecology, plant nursery work, habitat restoration, and community education. Interns live on-site in shared housing at Wood Thrush Park. Interns will take part in a wide variety of education, data collection, and research/monitoring activities with Headwaters PhD level staff (Dr. Collins and Dr. Saladyga) as well as restoration and plant nursery staff during their time in Southern West Virginia.
