Next fall the UW student chapter of the Society for Ecological Restoration's (SER-UW) native plant nursery is expanding by building a new hoop house, growing more plants from seed and cuttings, and increasing its opportunities for volunteer involvement.

SER will be looking for a Building Projects Intern and a Communications Intern:

"The native plant nursery is seeking two undergraduate student interns for fall quarter. An interest in native plants and sustainable horticulture practices is a must but previous experience is not required. Interns are expected to devote an average of 9 hours a week to nursery projects. In conjunction with the co-managers, interns will develop learning objectives based on individual interests and strengths, to receive credit for ESRM 399. The interns' time will be split between routine plant maintenance, plant propagation, nursery infrastructure projects, helping with weekly volunteer work parties, and individual projects. Each intern will have a different focus to help tackle the many and diverse needs of a native plant nursery."
