Brief Description
Brief Description
Spanning Easthampton and Northampton, Arcadia's diverse terrain (forest, meadows, grasslands, marsh, and wetlands) attracts an extraordinary variety of wildlife.
Visitors will also find a thriving population of wildflowers, thanks to the sanctuary's rich, loamy soil that's characteristic of the Connecticut River floodplain.
Interns are often also involved in the Youth Climate Summit.

Advice from Past Interns
Advice from Past Interns
"Don’t be afraid to reach out to people for collaboration. I met with so many people outside of my immediate department and it allowed me to learn new skills and create amazing projects. Another piece of advice I have is don’t be afraid to try something new. It is intimidating at first but in the end you will be glad you did it. I had never written or submitted a grant narrative before and I was super nervous to get involved in one, but I did. I wrote a grant narrative and now I have that amazing experience and skill under my belt."(Intern, 2023)
