Jacquelyn, Ditto what Kyle said. The SCA is a good place to start (at one point, I saw positions working for the Navy related to marine resources among others). I completed 3 stints with them after undergrad.
Another good organization is the American Conservation Experience (ACE). They have an amazing program that utilizes Direct-hire Authority for Federal jobs. First, you complete an 11-week internship. Given that you do well and meet the requirements, a hiring manager can appoint you to a permanent position and bypass the usual USAjobs process. The next round of DHA positions will probably go out late winter/early spring. http://www.usaconservation.org/ is their website. At this point the internships have been with the Bureau of Land Management, but I believe this DHA program can be applied to all U.S. Dept. of Interior agencies.
