Bounty Project Interns

The Claude Moore Colonial Farm at Turkey Run seeks an intern interested in working at The Bounty Project Crop Exhibit. The Bounty Project Crop Exhibit, located at the GateHouse Shop and main entrance to the Farm, demonstrates the extent to which modern agriculture has come through biotechnology.

The Claude Moore Colonial Farm portrays family life on a small, low-income farm just prior to the Revolutionary War. This privately operated National Park, located just outside of Washington, DC, has served more than one million visitors during its 35 years of operation. The Farm educates the public about the history of American agriculture through visitors' active participation and involvement in the eighteenth-century farm site and associated educational programs.

Specific duties will include:

• Tend crops (ie: water, fertilize and weed when and where appropriate)
• Greet and inform guests
• Study Bt crop information
• Assist in planting and infestation of crops
• Maintain main pathways and paths between crop rows
• Weed and water ornamental gardens
• Assist Monsanto scientist(s) as needed and maintain a daily Garden Journal
• Assist Farm Facilities Manager and Farm staff as needed
• Assist in harvesting crops
• Manage garden volunteers

Commitment:
Both full and part-time internships are available from April/May through August/September.

Compensation:
Interns will be paid a salary stipend. The salary will be treated as income to the intern, subject to FICA and income taxes.
