About the Program

The Anna Beal Intern will receive a $4,165 educational scholarship, paid by the Anna Beal Trust of Waterloo, to an Iowa school after completing 11 weeks of stewardship work throughout the state primarily on The Nature Conservancy preserves and public agency properties. This position is an opportunity for Iowa students from any educational background, to learn about Iowa’s natural landscapes. Interns will develop basic skills for preserve management tasks through hands-on experience in a wide range of ecosystems. The work entails daily outdoor physical labor for extended periods of time in all weather conditions.

The Conservancy will provide food and lodging in rustic conditions (camping or bunk houses) during the work week. Interns should provide their own sleeping bag and tent. Pre- and post-weekend travel to work sites is the responsibility of the intern, and therefore the provision of personal transportation, while not required, is encouraged.
