I enjoyed the organizational culture of the Nature Conservancy: A group of devoted people for sustainability and conservation. Right up my alley!

A typical work day consisted of removing one mile of barbed wire fencing and replacing it as the day went on. I learned about the land in North Dakota and the history of the bison roaming grounds. Also, I learned about the various types of indigenous and invasive species of grass on North Dakota prairies. My co-workers consisted of fellow HS friends – more... that were assigned to the ND team. The hardest part of the internship was coping with the new setting/environment and relinquishing my dependency on technology (i.e cell phones, tv, music etc). Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed the experience and would love to do it again and/or work for the Nature Conservancy one day. – less

The work hours were very flexible, and the research was very interesting. I enjoyed the people and the travel opportunities were great. I worked as an Americorps Intern so there was not pay. I would have loved to have a full time job with this organization

Quiet day work, I learned how to create and manage inventories. Friendly co-workers

This was my first professional job experience; everyone was very welcoming, attentive and helpful in answering my questions and made me feel at home in the workplace. I got to know my co-workers well and very much enjoyed working for TNC. I will miss it!

Great mission from an organization committed to saving important places and natural resources. Employees lack sense of urgency and have a sense of entitlement.

I learned a lot from a new arena and enjoyed interacting with our team and meeting so many interesting people from a totally new industry for me.

Leaders pay too much lip service to wanting to build future audience and funders of the next generations, but very little progress made over past few years at successfully lowering average member from 63-year-old white male.

My work at the Nature Conservancy enabled me to design research apparatus, making them easily accessible to divers underwater and easier to use. This indirectly enabled me to carry out environmental research more efficiently by making research tools more efficient. I was also required to read on organisms which will be studied through the use of the – more... tools I built, which showed me that The Nature Conservancy cares about its employees, and the environment. – less

The Nature Conservancy is company whose core values are based on diversity and inclusion in the workplace and in the environment. During my tenure with the company I have learned the primary responsibilities of diversity recruitment and Human Resources procedures.

Working for The Nature Conservancy provided and insight into the non-profit world which was unknown to me. The land acquisition in Northern Idaho during my time allowed for the enjoyment of land for all living plants and animals. The job was challenging and well balanced between general office duties to contract negotiations to trail building and donor – more... parties. – less

A typical day at work was collecting data from the local Surveyor, such as Government Grants, Deeds and any other land information possible. Interviewing residents of Sandy Point. Getting to know the people who lived there and how it was to live on an Island with no vehicles except for horse and buggy. Collecting information on Landownership.

There – more... was plenty to learn. The way they lived with no electricity, They used wind chargers. They traveled to the main lands through boat and ships. There were shipwrecks and ship sinking. The community was split between religions, Catholic living Up Along and Protestants living Down Along. They interacted with each other, Involved both priest in their ceremonies and funerals. They abandoned the community around the late 60's during the installation of the train and because of lack of doctors and travel and other modern day utilities.

Management was in St. John's, NL but was always available for any questions or supplies.

Co-workers were always available to help and to supply travel to and from the community.

The hardest part of the job was learning how much the residents loved their community and having to look at their parent's homes in vandalism and ruin when they would visit their home town of Sandy Point.

The most enjoyable part of the job was meeting the people from Sandy Point. Spending time with them and learning how they managed with what they had. I remember students coming to our class from Sandy Point. How we have evolved. – less

What The Nature Conservancy does is instrumental, and quite honestly it is amazing in everything they accomplish. Working there was a great learning experience.
