Cultural Resources Internship (PO-00735456)

This opportunity will serve to stimulate interest in public lands service and the preservation and stewardship of historic resources, supporting the growth of the next generation of preservationist archeologists.  Additionally, the youth intern’s assistance with the stabilization component will demonstrate to the local community and the public at large, that the NPS is committed to maintaining its historic sites in good condition, contributing to visitor satisfaction in facilities, services, and recreational experiences. The intern’s participation in project activities supports several park goals including completion of the lava tube caves survey in support of the parks inventory and National Register eligibility objectives under Section 110, and participation in data collection, processing, and reporting to meet HABS/HAER documentation level for the El Calderon Basalt Pueblo. Baseline data development from these projects provides valuable cultural resources information that will assist park managers with planning and compliance and help with protecting and interpreting significant archeological sites in the parks.
