It may be winter in the Northland, but now is actually the perfect time to make summer plans with the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources. They have the perfect way to not only get outside this summer but to get paid doing it and the application deadline is fast approaching.
The Minnesota DNR announced this week that they are looking for “passionate and dedicated” students interested in learning more about natural resource careers through paid summer internships.
According to the DNR, their summer interns gain valuable training, build meaningful experience and share their knowledge and perspectives to help create a healthy, sustainable, and inclusive Minnesota.
The DNR has a wide variety of internship opportunities located throughout the state. Interns can get valuable experience in fisheries, forestry, park operations, watercraft inspections, communications and a lot more.
