Position Description:
This role supports TreeUtah’s mission by attending events open to the public or at local schools to assist participants through the planting process. Interns will also assist TreeUtah staff in preparing for and setting up the event space, cleaning up after events, and doing tree follow-up maintenance. Other opportunities occasionally arise for interns to help at nurseries or other TreeUtah project sites like the EcoGarden.

This position will also require applicants to be willing to take and pass a background check, and stay up to date on CPR/First aid/AED trainings.
