Environmental Volunteer Projects and Internships with The Nature Conservancy

The Connecticut Chapter of The Nature Conservancy offers internships and a variety of hands-on volunteer opportunities pertaining to the environment and natural resource conservation. The majority of our opportunities are based out of Devil's Den Preserve in Weston, Connecticut. We provide training for most projects and welcome responsible students. Please visit our web site for some examples of these projects, and approximate timeframes for opportunities. Please contact Cynthia Fowx at theden@tnc.org or 203 226 4991 for more information. The Nature Conservancy is a leading conservation organization working around the world to protect ecologically important lands and waters for nature and people. To date, the Conservancy and its more than one million members have been responsible for the protection of nearly 120 million acres and more than 5 thousand miles of rivers worldwide.
