Internship- Native Seeds/SEARCH

Native Seeds/SEARCH is a non-profit conservation organization based in Tucson, Arizona. Since 1983 we have been a major regional seed bank and a leader in the heirloom seed movement. This summer we will be recruiting four temporary interns to help with conservation work at the Native Seeds/SEARCH Conservation Farm in Patagonia, Arizona. Room and board is provided for 3 month internships.  Shorter internships may also be accommodated.  Activities this year include the regeneration (growing, documentation and seed-saving) of a diverse assortment of over 100 at-risk crop varieties, as well as the growout of numerous other varieties for seed distribution or research. This is a fantastic opportunity to become intimately involved with the preservation of the Southwest's rich agricultural heritage, learn farming and seed-saving techniques, and live in a place of stunning natural beauty.  More information about our internship program can be found here: http://www.nativeseeds.org/index.php/about-us/employment/106-summer-intern-opportunities-at-our-conservation-farm
