Fish and Feathers Internship Program seeks to engage young professionals in natural resource careers. 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. About this Site: 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.
