Good morning,

I hope this email finds you well. My name is Caroline Balano-Stott, and I am the Conservation Programs Manager with Watershed Friends ("Friends of the Cobbossee Watershed"), an environmental nonprofit in Winthrop, Maine that focuses on protecting the lakes, ponds, and streams of the Cobbossee Watershed through community engagement, conservation, and education. I'm reaching out to share some exciting opportunities for paid summer work. We're currently seeking students or recent graduates who are looking to gain professional, hands-on experience in the conservation science field.

We have open positions for Courtesy Boat Inspectors and Plant Survey and Control team members. The Plant Survey and Plant Control positions, in particular, provide excellent experience for any students or graduates interested in data collection and Aquatic Invasive Species management. We also have leadership positions for any students or new graduates interested in pursuing a role with more responsibility. I have attached descriptions for all open roles and more information about these positions can be found on our website: Employment - Watershed Friends (watershedfriends.org)

Please pass this information along to any interested students. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me. Have a wonderful day!

Best,

Caroline
