Eden Project Internship - United Kingdom

This internship offers the opportunity to work with staff in the development of an exciting new botanical project in Cornwall, England. The Eden Project, newly opened in March 2001, seeks to interpret the importance of plants to people and to promote sustainable development.

Constructed in an abandoned clay mine, the project includes a 55-meter-high enclosed tropical rain forest biome covering almost 5 acres, a one and one half acre Mediterranean biome, and extensive outdoor gardens of economically important plants. A large nursery grows plants for the exhibits.

The project has a large educational program for children and adults. Opportunities for interns exist in horticulture, education and interpretation. The period of this internship normally is for three months and is under the direction of Prof. Sir Ghillean Prance, the Eden Project's Scientific Director. Au Sable Institute will meet international travel costs and interns will pay for their living expenses. Interested persons should apply to the Au Sable Institute Registrar Office. (Available in 2004).
