Are you a recent college graduate looking for a career in conservation? Or will you be a recent college graduate by December? Would you like a year-long position in which you can gain a ton of different experiences without having to change jobs/locations every few months?

The Hubbard Fellowship with The Nature Conservancy in Nebraska is a great way to complement your college education with real life experience – and lots of it. Many of our past fellows have used that experience to jump right into a career position after they leave us. Others found the fellowship helped them decide what to focus on in graduate school.

Fellows spend about half their time doing land stewardship work in prairies and wetlands, including prescribed fire, invasive species control, cattle and bison grazing management, and much more. They learn how to operate tractors, skid steers, UTVs, chainsaws, and the other equipment used to manage land.

Beyond land stewardship, though, fellows are looped into just about everything The Nature Conservancy does in Nebraska, including science, outreach, fundraising, supervising volunteers, and strategic planning. They also attend several professional conferences, both in Nebraska and beyond.

Fellows develop an independent project as well, which fills about 10% of their time. Topics for projects can include just about anything, including research, art, storytelling, and much more – as long as it allows fellows to explore something they want to learn more about and provides the Conservancy with a tangible benefit.

Hubbard fellows are provided with housing and work vehicle, a flexible schedule, a supportive environment, and full employment benefits, including health insurance, matching retirement contributions, and paid time off.
