Dr. Marc J. Taylor Internship
Each summer, PRWC hires undergraduate and graduate students pursuing environmental careers for its Dr. Marc Taylor Internship position. This prestigious environmental student internship was established in 2013 in memory of PRWC’s cofounder, Dr. Taylor (1937-2012). In addition to stewarding environmental resources at the local, state, and national level, Dr. Taylor was particularly eager to foster the same passion in those preparing to be the stewards of the future.
The Intern will serve as an ambassador of PRWC during the summer season. Interns work on projects that protect and enhance natural resources in the Pomperaug Watershed communities. Projects may include but are not limited to water quality sampling, culvert assessments, streamwalk surveys, river clean-ups, riparian habitat improvement, invasive species removal, erosion mitigation, educational workshops, community outreach, and more.
