[Biostudent] Internships - SER-UW Native Plant Nursery

[Biology Advising]

The SER-UW Native Plant Nursery is a student-led operation that houses
several thousand individual plants and over one hundred different species
native to the Puget Sound. Our mission is to provide a local source of
native plants for student projects and restoration sites, to educate
students on best nursery practices for sustainable native plant production,
and to continue to improve those practices through research and
collaboration with students and community partners.



The nursery is seeking student interns for the fall quarter. Interns are
expected to devote an average of 9 hours a week to nursery projects. In
conjunction with the manager, interns will develop learning objectives
based on individual interests and strengths, receiving credit for ESRM 399
or their school’s equivalent. The interns' time will be split between
routine plant maintenance, integrated pest management, nursery
infrastructure projects, helping with weekly volunteer work parties, and
individual projects. Each intern will have a different focus to help tackle
the diverse needs of a native plant nursery. Past internship projects
include irrigation design for the hoophouse, design of beneficial
insectaries, and a nursery sustainability assessment.



To apply, send a resume and a 300-500 word cover letter of why you are
interested to sernursery at gmail.com. Please indicate why you would like to
be considered, what you want to learn, and how your previous work
experience and/or coursework apply to this position. If you have any
questions, please do not hesitate to reach out to the nursery manager, Lea
Dyga, at sernursery at gmail.com.
