Project Northwoods Nature Center, located in Northern Wisconsin, United States, is now accepting applications for our summer internship program. Although this program is geared towards college students seeking experience, you do not need to be in an academic program to participate.

Project Northwoods aims to conserve the ecology and culture of the Wisconsin Northwoods through education, research and global outreach. Our programs educate people of all ages, including early learners, K-12, college students and adults. Our research projects utilize the knowledge of locals and long-time seasonal visitors, and benefit the many threatened and endangered species of flora and fauna that are found in the Northwoods, some of which have geographic ranges no larger than the boundaries of these specific forests. Our outreach programs educate people from around the world, especially focusing on tourists to the area, about the importance of these forests, the native species and the rich cultures found throughout the area. Any opportunity to get people outside and to appreciate the out-of-doors is utilized to teach about our local environment and its role in the global ecological community.

Some projects that are a focus of Project Northwoods include:

• Research on native and exotic species, especially focusing on species of concern, threatened and endangered species of all taxa. We especially focus on snakes and turtles, but have other projects underway as well.
• Educating children, local residents and tourists about the importance of the unique Northwoods environment through workshops, citizen science projects, a nature center and outdoor activity opportunities.
• Encouraging people of all ages to get outside and enjoy the natural world around them, thus promoting good health and an appreciation for stewardship of the Northwoods.
• Developing an appreciation for the rich culture of the Northwoods, especially as it pertains to the natural world.

Project Northwoods facilities include:

• A variety of museum exhibits (taxidermy, seashells, rocks, mammalian skulls, etc.).
• A collection of live animals, many with special needs. We focus on reptiles but also have small mammals, invertebrates, birds and fishes.
• A large kids’ discovery play area with STEM books, toys, games and activities.
• A building just waiting to be turned into our classroom center.
• 160-acre lakefront forested property for hiking, workshops and natural play.

This position is unpaid. College credit can be arranged through your university or college.
