Interested in conservation and the environment? Love the outdoors? Apply to be a W&L Knight Intern in Conservation. The Knight Program is open to all W&L first-years, sophomores, and juniors in any major and includes housing and a stipend. Knight Interns work for 10 weeks for one of three conservation organizations in Idaho. Those three organizations are: The Henry's Fork Foundation (1 intern), Friends of Harriman State Park (1 intern), and The Nature Conservancy at Flat Ranch (2 interns). Due to the remote location of these internships, applicants must have their own private vehicles that they can take to Idaho. The deadline for applications every year is January 27.
I drove out to Idaho, and arrived in Ashton in early June. When we first arrived we lived in the old HFF office on Main Street, but we were later moved into an intern house right behind the old and new HFF offices.
Funding for positions in environmental law is available separately through the A. Paul Knight Memorial Fellowship; Professor Brian Murchison coordinates the application and award process.
