Devon Point Farm is owned and Operated by Patty and Erick Taylor. The farm is located in Woodstock, Connecticut, an area is known for its rural countryside and classic New England setting. The farm is located 30 minutes from Worcester, 1 hour from Providence and Hartford, 1 1/2 hours from Boston and slightly over 3 hours from New York City. The daily farm routine: The daily routine is Monday - Saturday, 6 a.m. â€“ 6 p.m. We are up at 5-5:30 a.m. with hearty breakfast and then outside by 6 or 7 a.m. We like to do the field work from 6 to noon, have a home-made lunch, and the if it's hot take an afternoon siesta or run off to a nearby pond for a swim, then finish up with any afternoon chores and a great meal. One night per week we may work in the evening to prepare for our early monring share delivery to coastal residents. On a daily basis, there's routine chores like caring for chickens, moving cattle through rotational grazing pastures, and all the components of running the CSA like starting seeds, planting, weeding, harvesting, setting up produce displays for the share members, cutting flowers and making bouquets. This is a small and very diverse farm. At larger farms or farms that specialize in fewer products, apprentices often get stuck doing pretty much the same thing day in and day out. Not here. Here, every day is different. Special learning components for apprentices: Apprentices get a special learning opportunity about all the "behind-the-scenes" aspects of farm business management â€“ all aspects of running a profitable and sustainable farm business including but not limited to understanding the farmâ€™s bookkeeping, financial planning and management, grant writing, and the holistic approach animal and crop production planning. Also cattle herd management, our breeding philosophy, grassfed beef production, marketing and processing, grazing rotation planning, as well as overall herd health management. Also all aspects of the business management of organic vegetable and flower farm operations will be shared including field crop planning, equipment and supply decisions, product marketing and promotion, customer relationship management, as well as day-to-day operations management. Housing available: For the right apprentices, we have room and board available. We have a brand-new house with very nice accommodations - a big room with a great view of a pond frequented by ducks and geese and the cows grazing in the fields beyond. A private bathroom shared only with other apprentices. Your "off time" (typically Sundays) would be your own and we would encourage you to explore the area and can set up other farm visits to round out your experience. We also have a boat and like to go weekly to the ocean for fishing and beach time - apprentices would be welcome to join us on the boat or get dropped off on a beach or at a scenic coastal town like Mystic for a day of shopping and sightseeing. Stipend: The apprenticeship is not meant to be a job and you won't be paid wages. Apprentices will receive a stipend of $150 per week to help you cover expenses while you are here. A monthly stipend is available for apprentices who stay for the entire summer. Qualifications: The right candidate: We are only looking for dedicated, honest, hard working, down-to-earth, positive, teachable, fun-loving, clean-cut appearance, non-smoking and English-speaking, applicants. Like any experience, you will get out of it what you put into it. Our season runs from April to October. Limited transportation may be arranged. Length of stay is negotiable depending on the circumstances.

NEW ENGLAND CLIMATE SUMMER NEWENGLANDCLIMATESUMMER.ORG

NEW ENGLAND CLIMATE SUMMER INTERN Internship Description: New England Climate Summer is a transformative two month (June 8- August 9) internship that challenges participants to learn and practice effective community organizing skills while building a powerful movement to solve the climate crisis. Climate Summer participants put their values into action, bringing the moral authority of the generation who will face the most severe effects of climate change to bear across New England, knitting together the strands of a movement able to put our nation on the path to a just and stable future. Training: Climate Summer begins with a full week of intensive training. Interns will learn the nuts and bolts for a successful summer and community organizing skills from climate movement leaders. The Climate Summer organizing model emphasizes building relationships with diverse constituencies, training for leadership development, campaign structure and developing public narratives that motivate for action. The training will also include basics like working with media, running effective team meetings and of course, bike safety and maintenance. Responsibilities: Participants work in groups of six with a trained team leader, biking from town to town across one of the New England states. Each team visits nearly 10 towns, spending close to a week in each location. Interns commit to travel exclusively by bike, transporting their own gear. Past experience traveling long distances by bike is NOT necessary. Climate Summer teams form an intensive community, living and working together sustainably. Teams are housed by community partners, primarily in houses of worship. Teams cook and clean for themselves. No two weeks of Climate Summer are exactly alike, just as no two communities are exactly alike. Once a team bikes into town for the week, riders might spend their time meeting with a diverse group of community members, attending public functions such as Farmersâ€™ Markets, co-sponsoring events and workshops with local environmental groups, and inventorying what climate-related work is happening in each town. Riders work with communities to connect the diverse constituencies within the emerging grassroots climate movement, as well as support and enhance the local solutions already underway in those communities. Often, teams engage in direct service, skill sharing, and/or raising the profile of existing local solutions and policy advocacy projects through earned media, social networking, and public events. Internship Credit and Funding. Climate Summer is an unpaid internship opportunity. Housing and food are provided for the duration of the internship. We will work with students on an individual basis to arrange for internship credit at your school.

OCEANS RESEARCH WWW.OCEANS-RESEARCH.COM

MARINE RESEARCH INTERNSHIP Internship Description: Interns will be joining dedicated scientists who are conducting accredited research projects in some of the worldâ€™s most challenging, beautiful and remote environments. The projects demand significant scientific and practical responsibilities from participants, however, the demands are well within the capabilities of most students, and whilst being challenging, are enjoyable and exciting. As part of this program, interns can expect to be important members of a focused and dedicated research institute and partake in ground breaking research. It is an opportunity to contribute meaningfully to exciting marine research, as well as experience the frustrations, the highs and the lows, and the achievements associated with ambitious and challenging marine research in Africa. Oceans Research has established a strategic network of four research stations situated within the unique marine biomes of southern Africa, namely, Skeleton Coast Marine Lab, Mossel Bay Marine Lab, Aliwal Shoal Marine Lab and Zavora Marine Lab. At each laboratory, researchers are conducting ambitious ecological, physiological and biological studies on resident marine top predators and their associated ecosystems. Mossel Bay Marine Lab is the flagship and most established research laboratory within the Oceans Research network. It is also home to the instituteâ€™s central office and management. The research laboratory is situated along the southern coast of Africa in a warm temperate marine biome that attracts numerous temperate water fish species. At the top of the food chain is the Cape fur seal that resides on Seal Island, the Great white shark that frequents the bay to hunt fur seals, numerous fish species and a semi resident population of bottlenose dolphins. Aliwal Shoal Marine Lab is situated in the Umkomaas area, close to Durban, South Africa. Founded in 2010, the facility is proving incredible access for visiting scientists, graduate students and interns due to the unique SCUBA diving research opportunities with marine predators such as tiger sharks and black tip sharks. The marine environment is sub-tropical, with the continental shelf being home to a diversity of reef fish, pelagic species and the larger marine predators. The Laboratory's primary research projects are on the photo identification of tiger sharks and black tip sharks to establish baseline information about residency patterns, site fidelity and abundance. It has also established a long term reef monitoring program aimed at documenting the health of the coral communities. Skeleton Coast Marine Lab is situated along the desert coast of Namibia at Walvis Bay, a worldwide mecca of dolphin watching and desert tourism. The Benguela current is the driving force behind one of the worldâ€™s most abundant marine environments and attracts dense populations of marine mammals such as the Heavisideâ€™s dolphin, bottlenose dolphin, Cape fur seal and humpback whale. The Namibian coast line is considered one of the most undeveloped, beautiful places in the world. The Namib is the oldest desert in the world and is characterised by the conjunction of large fields of sand dunes meeting one of the worldâ€™s richest marine environments, the cold currents of the Benguela ecosystem. Zavora Marine Laboratory is the smallest and most remote of Oceans Research Marine laboratory network. Located in Mozambique, the laboratory is perfect for adventurous scientists and interns who want to experience Africa in its truest sense. The research laboratory is currently focussed on diver impact on Manta Ray cleaning stations and pristine reefs, and in particular, establishing methods of best practise to ensure that diving tourism isn't detrimental to marine life. Qualifications: The internship program is aimed at assisting in the development of students, training them in the area of biological sciences. Eligibility is thus limited to (a) Current undergraduate students enrolled in academic institutes and studying towards a science major, (b) Graduate scientists with a minimum of a B.Sc. (or equivalent) with a scientific major, (c) Exceptional naturalists who can show a â€˜real worlddedica^on to research, management or conserva^on of animals or ecosystems. Wage/ Salary: Unpaid Application Instructions: Further information is available on the Oceans Research website (http://www.oceans-research.com) or by writing to internship@oceans-research.com 90A Montagu street Mossel Bay, N/A +2744 690 5799 • internship@oceans-research.com

CEDAR CREEK ECOSYSTEM SCIENCE RESERVE HTTP://WWW.CEDARCREEK.UMN.EDU/

SUMMER FIELD RESEARCH INTERNSHIP Internship Description: The Cedar Creek Ecosystem Science Reserve of the University of Minnesota has opportunities for students to work as Research Interns in three types of positions; 1) Plant community ecology, 2) Wildlife biology, and 3) Insect diversity. Most positions run from June through August, but some interns are needed as early as March and some are needed through December. If you are an undergraduate or a newly graduated student with a background or interest in biology, ecology, environmental science, botany, environmental education, wildlife biology, or a related field we encourage you to apply. 1) Plant Community Ecology: We have two large scale projects, along with several smaller scale experiments, that require most of our intern resources throughout the summer. BioCON is one large scale experiment where we explore the ways in which plant communities respond to environmental changes such as increased nitrogen deposition, increased atmospheric CO2, decreased biodiversity, and altered precipitation patterns. Another large scale project is the Big Biodiversity experiment that studies how plant diversity affects the rates, dynamics, and stability of ecological processes at the population, community, and ecosystem levels. There are multiple experiments nested within the Big Biodiversity experiment as well, looking at factors such as irrigation and increased temperatures. 2) Wildlife Biology: The starting date will be early April to mid-May. The research will be looking at how harvesting restored prairies for biofuel affects wildlife. The work will include wildlife surveys encompassing birds, small mammals, insects, reptiles, and amphibians. Bird survey duties will include identifying birds by sight and sound. Small mammal survey duties include operating Sherman live traps and species identification. Insect survey duties will include methods such as sweep netting and pitfall traps. Additional surveys will require plant identification skills. The applicant must have a flexible schedule and be willing to work odd hours including weekends and holidays. The position will entail extensive travel throughout the western Minnesota prairie region and requires a valid driver's license. 3) Insect Diversity: This is part of a study of the tallgrass prairies of Minnesota that looks at how harvesting restored prairies for biofuel affects wildlife. The goal of this internship is to sort insect samples collected from different harvest treatments to reveal effects on diversity and abundance. Sweep net, pitfall, and quantitative samples were frozen after collection and now insects need to be separated from vegetation and identified. This work requires a lot of time in front of a microscope and the ability to handle small objects. If you have good attention to detail and an interest in insects, you may find seeing the diversity, strange morphology, and rare orders that we encounter to be fun a fun and rewarding experience. Qualifications: You will be considered for this internship if (a) you are a US citizen or (b) a foreign citizen attending a US college or university full-time. • Hours Per Week: 40 • Wage/ Salary: $10/hr Application Instructions: To apply, please email (ccintern@umn.edu) the following materials in one email by March 1st, 2011: **Letters of recommendation should be sent separately** (1) A completed application form (may be downloaded from the CCESR website) (2) A resume (maximum of two pages) (3) A cover letter stating both your qualifications and why this internship will benefit you (4) A transcript (unofficial is acceptable) (5) Two letters of recommendation (Should be sent separately **) ** The letters should be emailed in by your references.

The marine environment is sub-tropical, with the continental shelf being home to a diversity of reef fish, pelagic species and the larger marine predators. The Laboratory's primary research projects are on the photo identification of tiger sharks and black tip sharks to establish baseline information about residency patterns, site fidelity and abundance. It has also established a long term reef monitoring program aimed at documenting the health of the coral communities. Skeleton Coast Marine Lab is situated along the desert coast of Namibia at Walvis Bay, a worldwide mecca of dolphin watching and desert tourism. The Benguela current is the driving force behind one of the worldâ€™s most abundant marine environments and attracts dense populations of marine mammals such as the Heavisideâ€™s dolphin, bottlenose dolphin, Cape fur seal and humpback whale. The Namibian coast line is considered one of the most undeveloped, beautiful places in the world. The Namib is the oldest desert in the world and is characterised by the conjunction of large fields of sand dunes meeting one of the worldâ€™s richest marine environments, the cold currents of the Benguela ecosystem. Zavora Marine Laboratory is the smallest and most remote of Oceans Research Marine laboratory network. Located in Mozambique, the laboratory is perfect for adventurous scientists and interns who want to experience Africa in its truest sense. The research laboratory is currently focussed on diver impact on Manta Ray cleaning stations and pristine reefs, and in particular, establishing methods of best practise to ensure that diving tourism isn't detrimental to marine life. Qualifications: The internship program is aimed at assisting in the development of students, training them in the area of biological sciences. Eligibility is thus limited to (a) Current undergraduate students enrolled in academic institutes and studying towards a science major, (b) Graduate scientists with a minimum of a B.Sc. (or equivalent) with a scientific major, (c) Exceptional naturalists who can show a real world dedication to research, management or conservation of animals or ecosystems. • Hours Per Week: • Wage/ Salary: Unpaid Application Instructions: Further information is available on the Oceans Research website (http://www.oceansresearch.com) or by writing to internship@oceans-research.com 90A Montagu street Mossel Bay, Oceans Research 6500 +2744 690 5799 • internship@oceans-research.com

SUSTAINABILITY

NEW ENGLAND CLIMATE SUMMER NEWENGLANDCLIMATESUMMER.ORG

NEW ENGLAND CLIMATE SUMMER INTERN Internship Description: New England Climate Summer is a transformative two month (June 8- August 9) internship that challenges participants to learn and practice effective community organizing skills while building a powerful movement to solve the climate crisis. Climate Summer participants put their values into action, bringing the moral authority of the generation who will face the most severe effects of climate change to bear across New England, knitting together the strands of a movement able to put our nation on the path to a just and stable future. Training: Climate Summer begins with a full week of intensive training. Interns will learn the nuts and bolts for a successful summer and community organizing skills from climate movement leaders. The Climate Summer organizing model emphasizes building relationships with diverse constituencies, training for leadership development, campaign structure and developing public narratives that motivate for action. The training will also include basics like working with media, running effective team meetings and of course, bike safety and maintenance. Responsibilities: Participants work in groups of six with a trained team leader, biking from town to town across one of the New England states. Each team visits nearly 10 towns, spending close to a week in each location. Interns commit to travel exclusively by bike, transporting their own gear. Past experience traveling long distances by bike is NOT necessary. Climate Summer teams form an intensive community, living and working together sustainably. Teams are housed by community partners, primarily in houses of worship. Teams cook and clean for themselves. No two weeks of Climate Summer are exactly alike, just as no two communities are exactly alike. Once a team bikes into town for the week, riders might spend their time meeting with a diverse group of community members, attending public functions such as Farmersâ€™ Markets, co-sponsoring events and workshops with local environmental groups, and inventorying what climate-related work is happening in each town. Riders work with communities to connect the diverse constituencies within the emerging grassroots climate movement, as well as support and enhance the local solutions already underway in those communities. Often, teams engage in direct service, skill sharing, and/or raising the profile of existing local solutions and policy advocacy projects through earned media, social networking, and public events. Internship Credit and Funding. Climate Summer is an unpaid internship opportunity. Housing and food are provided for the duration of the internship. We will work with students on an individual basis to arrange for internship credit at your school. Many colleges and universities offer stipends to students participating in unpaid internships.The Climate Summer Coordinators will work with you to raise a stipend if one is needed. Qualifications: Climate Summer Interns should: Have a passion to make a difference in the world -be eager to expand their skill sets and experience as organizers and movement leaders -be interested in social justice, re-localization, climate stability, public health, public policy, and/or environmental justice -bring existing skills and knowledge (for instance video editing, photography, music, art, cooking, navigation, etc.) -have experience or a desire to gain experience in community organizing -be 18-25 years of age, and/or a full-time student (high school graduates who are not yet 18 are encouraged to apply) -must be willing to dedicate the full 9 week period to living and working with their teammates -be comfortable sharing living space, sleeping on the floor and sharing cooking responsibilities with their teams Climate Summer Interns need to bring: -a bicycle and helmet for use during the internship (some assistance may be available if this is a barrier) -a laptop computer and a cell phone (some assistance may be available if this is a barrier) -basic gear (backpack, sleeping bag, etc....a packing list will be provided and some assistance may be available) Wage/ Salary: unpaid Application Instructions: Applications will be accepted and reviewed with the following deadlines, and until spaces are filled: Priority Deadline: January 15, 2011 Regular Deadline: March 1, 2011 Extended Deadline: April 1, 2011 Download an application at: http://www.newenglandclimatesummer.org/files/NECSApplication2011.doc?attredirects=0&d=1 45 Mount Auburn St Cambridge, MA 925 963 9626 • climatesummer@justandstable.org To view this posting on RhodyNet visit http:career.uri.edu & click “Students” in RhodyNet Icon

WATCH HILL FARMS WWW.WATCHHILLFARMS.ORG

HISTORICAL RESEARCHER Internship Description: We are interested in working with a URI history student to document the history of the property on which our farm sits. This is part of an overall goal of preserving the history and identity of this agricultural property. This might be a wonderful opportunity for a student to get a few independent research credits or complete thesis or research seminar requirements. The Watch Hill Farm property has special historical significance because it was the first property settled by Europeans in Westerly. John and Mary Babcock arrived here after having eloped by canoe from Portsmouth. John was white and Mary is said to have been of the Micmac tribe. They followed the coast until the came to freshwater (the Pawcatuck River) and then followed the river until they came to the first brook they found (the Mastuxet); this is where they set up camp, spending their first winter with the local Niantic tribe. The Babcock family owned the property until 1927, at which point Marsha's family moved in. The two houses on the property date from the 1700's, but have undergone numerous renovations and expansions. The main house has been a farmhouse, resort, hospital, and now, a private residence. It is absolutely loaded with history. Lamentably, the history of this property has never been written up or celebrated. The role of the student would be to fill in the gaps in what we already know about our property's history, and to make findings available to the community. Duties would involve oral history research, including making contacts with descendents of the Babcock family that we know of throughout the Eastern US. It would also involve archival research in the Westerly town library would turn up some new information. We would also like the student to write up findings in a public form so that it can be known and valued. This would include publicizing the findings in a forum such as the Westerly Sun daily. Qualifications: interest in RI history; ability to work semi-independently • Hours Per Week: flexible • Wage/ Salary: unpaid Application Instructions: Please call (401)596-9027 or e-mail mafiske@cox.net. 55 Watch Hill Rd Westerly, RI (401)596-9027 • mafiske@cox.net To view this posting on RhodyNet visit http:career.uri.edu & click “Students” in RhodyNet Icon
