<p class=MsoNormal><b><span style='font-size:14.0pt'>Summer Position in Rare
Plant Conservation in the Pacific Northwest<o:p></o:p></span></b></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:12.0pt'><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>This 10-week internship provides experience to people who
are interested in rare plant conservation and have completed at least one year
of college coursework, including relevant science classes. Interns work with the
conservation staff on a variety of projects involving Pacific Northwest native
plants, with a focus on rare plants. 2008 field work includes seed collection,
research on possible impacts of grazing on a rare plant, and one or more rare
plant reintroductions. Laboratory work includes germination trials and the many
tasks required for running our Seed Bank for Rare and Endangered Plants. This
position will also include computer data entry and other documentation, and
greenhouse work. This position requires the ability to work outdoors on some
days, sometimes in difficult weather or in remote areas. Conservation interns
and staff work long days when field research or seed collection are performed
and when travel is required to get to the research site. Visit our website, <a
href="http://www.berrybot.org">www.berrybot.org</a>, for more information on
2008 projects.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>The start date is flexible (typically between June and
September) and is determined by Berry Garden staff and the intern. Priority
will be given to current life science undergraduate students, recent college
graduates and individuals considering a career change into the field of
conservation biology. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>The conservation intern receives a stipend of approximately
$2,800. Housing and transportation to and from work are the responsibilities of
the intern. Transportation to field sites and lodging for overnight stays are
provided by The Berry Botanic Garden.<o:p></o:p></p>
