USACE Raystown Lake Project Conservation Interns: The US Army Corps of Engineers, Baltimore District, (USACE) intends to enter into a cooperative agreement with a non-federal, nonprofit entity for the management and enhancement of natural resources and assistance in the water safety program at the Raystown Lake Project (RLP). The USACE anticipates an opportunity for two Conservation Interns. Activities include (1) wildlife management, threatened and endangered species monitoring, fisheries management, wildlife habitat enhancement, forest management, and boundary inspection/maintenance; and (2) activities in water safety promotion, updating bulletin boards; maintaining life jacket loaner stations; organizing special events; conducting interpretive programs and roving interpretation; writing news releases; possibly conducting media interviews (radio); promoting USACE safety campaigns; developing public service announcements and interacting with park visitors. This agreement is an opportunity to provide training and education opportunities for conservation interns (two-2) with fish and wildlife, forestry, or education studies backgrounds. This agreement is entered into pursuant to 33 USC 2339(a) - Assistance Programs.
