The Prairie Partners summer internship returns in 2026!
For more than a decade, Prairie Partners interns have helped restore valuable wildlife habitat while gaining professional experience in conservation. Many interns have gone on to achieve great things at other land trusts, the DNR, local environmental contractors, and graduate school.
This year, the partner groups involved in the program are:
– Groundswell Conservancy
– Ice Age Trail Alliance
– Riverland Conservancy
– Wisconsin DNR
This is a paid internship and a full-time commitment (36 hours per week x 12 weeks) with a 4-day work week.
If you know someone who might be a good candidate and loves working outside, send them over to our Careers page for the job announcement, or see the full Prairie Partners Internship Announcement (PDF).
Application deadline: January 25, 2026
