Land Trust Teen Conservation Crew
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.
