National Park Service

Description

Death Valley National Park protects 3.4 million acres, spans over 11,000 feet in elevation, and is located at the junction of three major ecosystems: Mojave Desert, Great Basin and Sierra Nevada. All of these factors combine to make Death Valley one of the most ecologically diverse parks in North America. The wildlife program of Death Valley's Resource Management division requires the assistance of a highly skilled intern to help with the management and survey of native and feral animals. Responsibilities include but are not limited to documenting wild horse and burro populations through surveys and mapping, assisting the park wildlife ecologist with big horn sheep studies, management and organization of data and files, production of educational materials, GIS, and general assistance with Resource Management operations.
