The Park Planning Fellow will be in a cohort of interns that supports the national Park Planning and Special Studies (PPSS) Program and regional park planning programs. This opportunity affords the Fellow in-depth involvement in the National Park Service’s work to design and plan the future of national park units. In addition to being in a cohort with peers, the fellow will be supporting and collaborating with a professional community of NPS planners. The Park Planning Fellow will learn and contribute to how the NPS is addressing important issues facing the NPS and take a deep dive into the newly established guidance on general management planning. 

The Park Planning Fellow will support the Park Planning and Environmental Quality Division of the Intermountain Regional Office with one or more priority planning projects for reconnaissance surveys, recently-established park units, park portfolio evaluations and planning, and may also assist with smaller efforts and projects as appropriate.
