        ENVIRONMENTAL INTERNSHIP/VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITY

      ***Learn First-hand about the Fastest-Growing Segment 
            of the U.S. Environmental Movement***

Organization:   Land Trust Alliance
Title:           Survey Intern                                            
    
        Committed grassroots environmentalists throughout the country are 
working with land trusts to quietly but steadily take back our forests and 
farmland, our increasingly threatened places of natural beauty, from the 
relentless drive of development.  Land trusts are nonprofit organizations 
involved in protecting land for its natural, recreational, scenic, historical 
or productive value.  By their direct involvement land trusts insure that
such protection is permanent.  
        The Land Trust Alliance, the national organization of land trusts,
is conducting a national survey to gain a comprehensive picture of the growth
and development of land trusts across the country.
        We need 2 interested and enthusiastic interns to help make our
survey successful.  Work will include preparation of survey mailings and
follow-up telephone interviews with land trusts throughout the country.  
Depending on their interests, interns will also have the opportunity to
research and produce up-to-date information packet(s) on a variety of land 
conservation subjects, and respond to information requests from the land 
trust community.
        This internship will provide a unique chance to gain experience
with conducting survey research work, as well as to learn, through direct 
interaction with land trusts, about the vast range of projects to save
land for future generations.

Qualifications: Degree work in an environment-related discipline or
 interest in land conservation.  Attentive to details.  Ability to work 
 independently and with others.  Experience with survey and/or telephone 
 interview work a plus.

Salary: Volunteer position providing excellent hands-on experience at the 
 front line of the land trust movement.  Appreciation abundantly and
 genuinely lavished.

Dates of position:  Project ongoing from April to October 1994. 
Interns able to work 15-20 per week from May through September are 
desired.
