The Lakes Association of Norway offers a composite opportunity for a summer internship. There would be three components. About 20 of the intern’s weekly hours would be spent as a Courtesy Boat Inspector (CBI) – keeping visiting boats from inadvertently carrying an invasive aquatic species into a Lake. The remaining hours would be spent on two other components of the job: removing shoreline invasive plants, and erosion control. These are a bit more physical, but not overly strenuous. As a developmental supplement, the intern could volunteer to assist in water quality testing under the guidance our state qualified water quality team, led by a PhD Marine biologist. This position would be of interest for an individual with interests in protecting lake resources and aquatic biology.

This internship is full-time for the summer. 

The main focus of our trail work is to make available the local trails to increase ease of use and access. The current trails (besides the healthy Oxford hills section) has been falling into disrepair.

This internship will involve a commitment of 24 hours.

Interns will travel as a team with a staff member two full days per week for six weeks to visit school gardens at each of the eight elementary schools in the district. At the school gardens, interns will water, weed, and harvest to ensure that plots are maintained throughout the summer months so when each school's students arrive in the fall they are able to reap the benefits of their spring planting. 

This internship will involve a commitment of two days a week over 6 weeks of the summer. 

Student interns will have the opportunity to grow crops both through traditional agricultural practices (i.e. monocropping and tilling), as well as permanent agriculture practices-- which utilize plantings of multiple different species in permaculture "guilds". Interns will assist in the design, construction, and weekly maintenance of garden beds managed with these two contrasting strategies.
