The Prairie Partners summer internship returns in 2025!

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!

The internship was on hold this past year while partnering organizations focused on how to restructure the program to make it even better. In 2025, the internship will include new partnerships, a 4-day work week, a higher hourly pay rate, and new educational experiences.

This year, the partner groups involved in the program are:

– Groundswell Conservancy
– Ice Age Trail Alliance
– Riverland Conservancy
– Wisconsin DNR

If you know someone who might be a good candidate and loves working outside, send them on over to our Careers page for the job announcement.  We’re excited for what the future holds and cannot wait to get back in the field to conserve some of our favorite local green spaces!
