Hello! 

My name is Javier, I am one of the co-coordinators for the Habitat Horticulture internship in the upcoming school year and I wanted to reach out because we are beginning our recruitment for interns. Our team will focus on climate-ready gardening, outreach events, and garden maintenance. This is a great year-long internship opportunity for all undergraduate students. Recruitment ends Sunday 8/27. This is the link to our recruitment application: https://docs.google.com/forms/u/4/d/1iXPqviOjmDu_2SVvNv5G1I6Ebg0NhxOOw5ei1H018fw/viewform?edit_requested=true. Our recruitment flyer is attached. I was hoping this information could be sent to students in your department. If you have any questions or need any additional information, please contact me by replying to this email.

Many thanks
