A Duval Fellowship will be awarded to one or more deserving people interested in natural resource management, forestry and tracking. The recipient(s) of this award must be over 21 years of age, have an excellent driving record and be able to provide his or her own transportation to and from the field office in Jericho, Vermont. The selected intern(s) will work alongside Keeping Track's founder and program director, Susan Morse, providing valuable help during numerous field training workshops all over New England, New York and Quebec. Applicants must be in top physical condition and have a great attitude about people and long hours in the field in all kinds of weather. Academic credit can be arranged for this in-depth field biology experience in accordance with the intern's college requirements; however, this award does not cover any college charges.
Please apply for 2011 winter season by March 31, 2011. An announcement of the Duval Fellowship Awards will be made on April 30, 2011.
How to Apply
After thoroughly consulting this website, you may call the Keeping Track office at 802-434-7000 with any further questions. Each Duval award is considered and awarded separately. Send us a letter describing yourself and the nature of your interest in wildlife. Tell us about any field experiences you have had (i.e. hunting and fishing, hiking, logging, naturalist explorations, etc.) or any volunteer, school or work related activities in which you have participated. Most of all, persuade us that this award will truly enrich your life as a conservationist and outdoor enthusiast. Please note that while many applicants will be students or post graduates seeking career building experience, these awards can just as easily be awarded to any deserving nature lover.
