Summer Intern

We are grateful for our past summer interns that have exuded enthusiasm, curiosity, and a willingness to help in a variety of capacities. They have assisted our staff on the water, under the water and in the lab, and they have helped educate our community at the boat wash, on the Discovery Boat, at the farmers market, and at our annual meeting. Most have had lifelong ties to Glen Lake and are committed to our mission of preserving and protecting the water quality, natural resources, and quality of life in the Glen Lake / Crystal River Watershed through leadership, education, and collaboration.

Our interns have worked on plankton sampling (towing a plankton net to bring up microorganisms), snorkeling and underwater sampling in a quest to find invasive species, facilitating the Discovery Boat program, charting fish species and locations, tracking the merganser population, assisting with aerial (drone) data-gathering, videography, and hydro-labbing (measuring the physical and chemical parameters of water, such as temperature, pH levels, etc.).

Our intern program began in 2017 and is made possible by generous annual donations from Jim & Susan Dutmers, Tom and Monica Dutmers, and Bill and Rita Witler, in honor of their mothers, Patricia Johnson Dutmers and Elva Witler.

Our intern schedule is flexible and can accommodate summer college student schedules.
