Fish and Feathers is a program funded by the National Park Service (NPS) and administered by Environment for the Americas. Our goal is to provide our national park partners with talented interns who are eager to learn and to engage with local communities. The intern will focus on supporting, implementing, and leading community outreach programs that focus on fishing and birding activities. The overall goal is to increase diverse community engagement with NPS partners during the program and in years to come.

Summers in the Ozarks are typically hot and humid, with temperatures often reaching the upper 80s to mid-90s. Afternoon thunderstorms are common. Much of the intern’s work will take place outdoors, including programming on gravel bars along the river, so comfort working in summer conditions is essential.

Basic amenities are available in Marshall, Arkansas, located approximately 25 minutes from park housing. Marshall offers a grocery store, banks, gas stations, and a small selection of restaurants. Additional services, including medical care, a wider variety of grocery stores, dining options, and retail shopping, are available in Harrison, Arkansas, about a 45-minute drive from park housing.

The communities surrounding Buffalo National River provide excellent access to outdoor recreation. Within a 30-minute drive, interns can enjoy hiking, camping, and paddling opportunities along America’s first national river. Buffalo National River protects 135 miles of free-flowing river and more than 90,000 acres of land. Nearby U.S. Forest Service lands and several state parks further expand recreational opportunities.

For those seeking urban amenities, the Northwest Arkansas cities of Fayetteville, Springdale, and Bentonville, as well as Branson, Missouri, are within a two-hour drive and offer a variety of shopping, dining, arts, and entertainment options.

This internship includes a balanced mix of office and field work, with approximately 50% of time spent in each setting. The intern must be able to commute independently to and from the duty station. No other interns will be assigned to this location, though seasonal park employees may report to the duty station. A government vehicle will be available for official travel within the park during work hours.

Blackstone River Valley National Historical Park is comprised of six noncontiguous sites in northern Rhode Island and central Massachusetts. Located between two major cities, Providence, Rhode Island (population approximately 190,000) and Worcester, Massachusetts (population approximately 205,000), the Blackstone Valley is home to a diverse and often underserved population. Many people in this valley continue to live with the adverse effects of the Industrial Revolution, a story we share and interpret within the Park. 

The Park is in a temperate climate. Summers can often be hot and humid with an average temperature around 82 degrees Fahrenheit. Severe thunderstorms are possible during the summer months. The intern’s office will be located in Pawtucket, Rhode Island. Pawtucket is within the larger Providence metropolitan area. There is easy access to grocery stores, healthcare facilities, pharmacies, recreational outlets, shops, and stores.

The intern can expect to work an even split between office and fieldwork. Office work will be based at a desk. An intern might expect long hours in front of a computer on office days. Fieldwork will be primarily based in outreach events. During these events, interns should expect long days on their feet, walking moderate distances, moving tables and chairs, setting up pop-up tents and birding equipment, baiting fishing hooks, and unhooking fish. Programs might be held in light rain, but programs will always be canceled if there is a heavy rain or thunderstorm.

American Memorial Park (AMME) is in the village of Garapan on the island of Saipan. A huge part of the indigenous culture is fishing and hunting. Our goal this year is to increase community awareness around practicing sustainable fishing and to spark an interest in birding. 

You can find grocery stores, laundromats and hotels within five minutes of the park. The island climate is mostly sunny. The temperature averages from 85 to 95 degrees Fahrenheit with 90 to 100 percent humidity. 

The intern will work out of the Visitor Center in an office setting during the planning stages of their program. For outreach events, the intern will spend a bulk of their time outdoors and should dress in clothing suitable for warm, humid weather.

Park housing is not available. AMME is prioritizing island recruits who already have housing established. Housing on the island is expensive and very limited. In the case of an off-island intern being selected, the park will help the applicant locate housing options.

Acadia National Park is headquartered in Bar Harbor, Maine, on Mount Desert Island along the North Atlantic coastline, about 264 miles from Boston, Mass., and 50 miles from Bangor, Maine. At four million visits a year, Acadia is among the top 10 most visited national parks in the United States. Visitors enjoy 27 miles of historic motor roads, 158 miles of hiking trails, and 45 miles of carriage roads. The island’s 18 summits, including Cadillac Mountain (1,530 feet/466 meters), are the highest on the Atlantic Coast north of Rio de Janeiro. 

The climate has significant seasonal temperature differences, with warm to hot (and often humid) summers and cold (sometimes severely cold) winters. Work is primarily in the field with long periods of standing and walking on uneven terrain in all types of weather including intense heat in the summer. Ticks and stinging insects are part of the outdoor environment.

The Island Explorer provides seasonal bus service on and near the island. Downtown Bar Harbor is four miles from park headquarters and offers grocery stores and restaurants. Park-provided housing can vary based on location but tends to involve multi-bedroom house or apartment settings with shared common space, kitchens, and bathrooms.

The intern will be working primarily at two locations: the Abraham Lincoln Birthplace National Historical Park and at locations within the City of Hodgenville, such as McDougal Lake. This setting provides a rich backdrop for connecting communities with nature, allowing the intern to fully immerse themselves in both the local culture and natural resources. 

Hodgenville is located at an elevation of approximately 600 feet above sea level, offering a mix of rolling hills and flat terrain ideal for both birding and fishing activities. The region experiences a temperate climate with four distinct seasons. Summers can be warm and humid, with temperatures ranging from the mid-70s to mid-90s degrees Fahrenheit. Awareness of local insects, such as mosquitoes, and wildlife, including deer and snakes, is essential. The work may involve hiking on uneven terrain or navigating around water bodies, necessitating careful movement and situational awareness. Candidates should be comfortable working outdoors in diverse weather conditions.

The nearest large grocery store is approximately 15 miles away in the town of Elizabethtown, providing essential supplies and local goods. Local smaller stores are within five miles in Hodgenville. Medical facilities, including urgent care and pharmacies, are also located in Hodgenville. Local amenities such as restaurants, parks, and recreational areas are accessible within a short drive, promoting a supportive environment for the intern's work and community engagement.

All duty locations at Cape Hatteras are located on the barrier islands. These are coastal communities that are near the Atlantic Ocean. Ample office time will be provided for research and program preparation, and the majority of programs will occur outdoors.

In the summertime, hot and humid conditions are expected, and severe weather such as thunderstorms, tropical storms, or hurricanes could take place. Due to the hot, humid, and sometimes buggy conditions, we encourage staff to be prepared when they’re in the field by taking precautions such as staying hydrated and wearing hats, sunglasses, sunscreen, and bug spray. 

Park housing is typically three-bedroom shared housing units. Tenants can expect to have their own private bedroom but will share common living spaces such as kitchen, living room, bathroom, etc. While life on an island can feel remote, most amenities such as gas stations, grocery stores, restaurants, and hardware stores are within a 10- to 15-minute drive.  All areas within Cape Hatteras National Seashore have reliable cell phone service.

Chattahoochee River National Recreation Area is a large urban park in and around Atlanta, Georgia. The park has 35 full-time staff and 3.4 million visitors a year. Birding, fishing, hiking, and paddling are major recreational activities in our park. The climate is typical of middle Georgia with hot, humid summers. The park is in a dense metro area, so grocery stores, medical services, and other facilities are abundant.

Park housing includes four bedrooms in a good-condition 1960s residence. The house is a quarter-mile walk from headquarters and close to amenities. There is a shared kitchen and eating area, common living room, and washer/dryer. Wi-Fi is provided.

The intern's work will be split between outdoors fieldwork and indoors planning, coordination, and professional development activities; the majority will be outdoors where they will encounter mildly uneven terrain, bugs, and the potential for hot summer weather as well as rain, and the necessity for water safety on the mostly placid to class I river. Safety equipment and materials, training, and support will be provided, along with reasonable accommodation. The ability to lift 25 pounds, sit and paddle in a small craft, and walk or use a manual, all-terrain wheelchair over distances up to one mile will be required to complete the outlined activities.
