Every year, the Scientists in Parks work experience program places hundreds of aspiring professionals across the National Park System to work on natural resource management needs. Past projects have mapped sand dunes at Fire Island National Seashore, surveyed towering cacti at Saguaro National Park, and protected nesting sea turtles at Padre Island National Seashore. Others assessed pika populations at Rocky Mountain National Park, measured soils beneath the mangrove forests of Everglades National Park, and restored colorful corals beneath the waves at the National Park of American Samoa.<\/p>\n

The program is committed to providing all aspiring professionals\u2014especially those underrepresented in science\u2014with a unique opportunity to work on important real-world projects while building professional experience and a life-long connection to America\u2019s national parks.<\/p>\n
