Dear colleague,
I am writing to inform you that American Rivers has begun to accept
applications for the 2009-2010 Anthony A. Lapham River Conservation
Fellowship. The Lapham Fellowship was established in 2008 in honor of
the memory of Anthony Lapham, lifelong champion for rivers and former
chairman of the American Rivers Board of Directors.
The Fellowship gives talented post-graduates the opportunity to
engage in an applied research project and gain valuable experience
and exposure to the field of river conservation and advocacy. Our
first Lapham Fellow is currently producing a report exploring how
communities can use healthy rivers to be more resilient to the
impending impacts of climate change. This "blueprint for resilience"
will be used to educate decision makers at the local, state and
federal level and help us advance sustainable policies and practices.
If you know any exceptional postgraduates interested in contributing
to American Rivers' work on river conservation with a special
interest in the impacts of climate change, please direct her/him to
www.americanrivers.org/fellowship. These positions are one year (full
time), with a stipend and benefits.
Any further questions can be directed to Rob Kimball
(<mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>[EMAIL PROTECTED]).
Thank you,
