Summer Work Projects During the summer months following the first and second years of training, students are strongly encouraged to find employment in conservation. The department serves as a clearinghouse for summer employment opportunities, bringing these to the attention of students. Students have been very successful in arranging their own summer positions to match their particular conservation interests and training needs.
