We are delighted to welcome Elisa Busse to our 2025 O’Neil Conservation Steward program.

About the William C. and Joyce C. O’Neil Conservation Steward Program

Thanks to the Joyce C. and William C. O’Neil Charitable Trust, North Shore Land Alliance launched a formal internship program. Through this competitive program, qualified college students gain valuable conservation-related skills, including writing management plans for preserves, mapping trails, organizing volunteer and fundraising events, managing invasive plants, installing a woodland trail at Wawapek and educating the public about conservation.
