Learning in Action

The Designing the Parks program is not your typical internship.

Each year since 2013, the program has introduced a cohort of college students and recent graduates to National Park Service design and planning professions through projects related to cultural landscape stewardship.

In the internships, hosted by the Olmsted Center for Landscape Preservation and made possible by partner organizations, each participant focuses on an in-depth project that directly engages with a national park unit.
