Berkeley Heights Seeks Environmental Interns

The Berkeley Heights Environmental Commission is looking for student interns to collect data related to energy utilization and other environmental factors in the township.

“The project should prove attractive to students interested in the environment,” says Leonard Berkowitz, chair of the Environmental Commission. “It is a great opportunity to gain hands-on experience in environmental matters and to gain exposure to municipal government.  We seek students willing to volunteer for at least 10 hours per week during the coming summer.”

Interested applicants should eMail chairman@bh-ec.org to arrange for an interview.
