balance between natural and outdoor recreation resources: Interns will
learn to analyze, plan, and complete various trail projects; develop
collaboration and leadership skills; learn practical outdoors skills; and
learn about local plant species and habitat preservation. Projects often
are in the backcountry, and work is performed using hand tools and power
tools. All interns will be trained in tool-use and safety.
