Join a small dynamic crew that makes a difference! The Bainbridge Island Land Trust is once again hiring a dedicated crew of teens aged 14 and older to work on conservation lands this summer.

The Teen Conservation Crew will perform valuable conservation work such as invasive plant removal, property clean up, and other stewardship items on island conservation lands during 13 days this summer.

The program offers high school students a unique opportunity to earn money while making a noticeable difference in the health of our Island ecosystems, to learn about our Island’s natural landscapes, meet some amazing people, and learn about the work of the Land Trust.
