College Internship in Suburban Ecology

Mianus River Gorge
Program Description: Mianus River Gorge, a conservation organization and 800-acre nature preserve in southern New York, offers 8 week summer internships for college students interested in the conservation of natural areas in urbanizing landscapes.


  • Stipend: $25/day or combination of school credit and stipend (depending on university requirements).

  • Internships last for a period of 8 weeks (June July). Longer internships may be available upon request. Internships typically run from June to July, but some flexibility is available.

  • We generally give preference to local students or those that can commute, as summer housing is not always guaranteed. We still encourage students from outside our region to apply as we may be able to secure housing.

  • Each intern will work alongside Gorge staff and graduate students on a variety of projects including wildlife monitoring, non-native species management, and GIS applications.

  • Interns will work with and supervise high school students in our authentic research program (Wildlife Technician Program).

  • We work with our interns to provide a learning experience that fits their interests and long-term educational goals.




  • Projects for 2016 include:

  • Monitoring coyotes and other wildlife in NYC and Nassau County

  • Vegetation sampling, monitoring, and restoration

  • Wetland functional assessment throughout our watershed

  • Invasive species control and other land management work

  • Data management and analysis on numerous long-term projects


Applicant Eligibility


  • All undergraduate students are eligible to apply. We do not require applicants to major in a particular discipline; however, exposure to the fields of ecology, environmental science, or geography is encouraged.

  • Interns must be self-motivated and work well in groups settings.

  • Applicants should be prepared for strenuous work outdoors (e.g. field research and land management projects) as well as perform indoor work when necessary (e.g. data entry and GIS projects).

  • This year the internship will run from June 27 to Aug 19 -- applicants need to be available during this period.
