However, the experiences I had during this internship helped develop my love and passion for the environmental field and interpersonal relationships. I soon realized that I did not want to continue on with the medical field.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">After the National Trails System internship, I went on to work for the Florida Department of Environmental protection where I garnered experience with the agency\u2019s permitting program, aquatic preserves, and wetland determinations. Recently, I have accepted a position with Audubon Florida to work as a conservation organizer to expand their base of advocates for Everglades and climate issues along the west coast of Florida.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I highly recommend applying for the PNTS internship if you have a passion for the environment, even if you do not have a degree in the field. It is a great way to learn and build experience while gaining new perspectives.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/pnts.org\/new\/halle-goldstein\/\">Halle Goldstein<\/a> is a 2018 Trail Intern grant recipient with the Florida Trail Association and Trail Apprentice scholarship recipient who attended the National Trails Conference in Vancouver, WA.
