From the website ” The Land Trust Training and Apprenticeship Program, or TAP, is an opportunity for young adults to get paid for on-thejob training working with organizations dedicated to environmental, land and water conservation programs and causes. Our goal is to create a pathway for students to enter the rewarding non-profit conservation profession and to grow the future workforce dedicated to environmental stewardship. Student interns will be placed in pairs at three different land trusts throughout Northern and Central California: Fort Bragg, Visalia and Lincoln. The selected interns will receive land conservation education, job training and a living stipend of $400 a week for an 8 to 10 week internship at a land trust.The California Council of Land Trusts will host training to provide interns with background knowledge of land conservation in California. Training topics will cover land conservation methods, land trust operations, stewardship and community outreach. CCLT will continue to provide ongoing training and support to interns while stationed at their land trust sites.”
