Objective: JMT Wild has developed an internal Monitoring Program, to collect scientific data and track the progress of wilderness restoration work in the greater JMT region. Seasonal staff, recent college graduates, and undergraduate interns all coordinate in the field to capture this comprehensive dataset.
The JMT Wilderness Conservancy strongly believes in inspiring future environmental leaders and providing them with the tools and experiences to build environmentally-focused careers that will aid in the conservation of our planet and its resources. Each season, we recruit and onboard experienced seasonal staff, recent college graduates, and undergraduate student interns for deployment in the backcountry of the Sierra Nevada near each of our restoration and project areas. These staff all have the opportunity to work alongside wilderness rangers, scientists, and National Park and Forest Service leaders in a collaborative effort to restore and monitor the most impacted regions surrounding the JMT.
The internship in particular allows current students to receive academic credit in their environmental-focused majors and to gain a unique, hands-on research experience. The JMT Wilderness Conservancy Internship offers students the opportunity to undergo invaluable personal and professional development and truly experience the breathtaking backcountry of the Sierra Nevada.
