This could be your morning commute.

Thirty-one keen young scientists are putting their environmental knowledge to work this summer as Shell Conservation Interns with the Nature Conservancy of Canada (NCC).

The program is open to recent university grads and students. Interns carry out on-site stewardship tasks at some of NCC’s 2,000 properties across the country. From collecting animal movement data to developing land management plans to controlling the spread of invasive plant species, let the team at Canada's leading conservation organization help you build valuable real-world experience.

As a non-profit, non-advocacy organization, NCC takes a business-like approach to preserving Canada's natural heritage with a focus on conserving our landscapes for future generations. Through the Shell Conservation Internship Program we are training the next generation of environmental stewards.

The Shell Conservation Internship Program is made possible by support from Shell Canada Limited, which has donated more than $6.5 million in financial resources, land and mineral rights to NCC.

Job postings for the 2010 season are now posted. Monitor this website for jobs that could provide you with the chance to work along pristine Canadian shorelines, on majestic mountaintops or in luscious prairie grasslands. You will look forward to your morning commute.
