Grant Description

This project will create an arrangement between the BLM and an organization willing to act as an intermediary to provide a consistent number of interns annually. The overall objective would be to further conservation of sensitive BLM resources, especially threatened, endangered, and sensitive plant and animal species (including fish), by enhancing the capability of professional staffs. This would be achieved by establishing a mentoring program whereby recent college graduates work directly with conservation and land management program projects while receiving professional development opportunities and experience with a federal land management agency.
