Give an example: But first, start with how you found out about the career opening and why you're interested in the job position.: The University of Illinois Arboretum is sponsoring 13 to 15-week paid internships during the summer of 2024, beginning at the end of the spring semester. Interns will work in our gardens and woodlands, performing hands on tasks such as planting, pruning, and other skill-based activities under the guidance of the Arboretum horticulturists and soil scientist. Interns will gain experience integral to public garden management and may have the opportunity to participate in special projects relevant to plant propagation, urban ecology, landscape design, restoration ecology, and other topics critical to the development of the Arboretum. Opportunities exist to interact with faculty and students from various departments as well as attend field trips
