Students! Join our Environmental News team

We'll train a small group of UCSC students to report on local environmental news. You'll learn to research, write, and report for the radio and web and you'll quickly become an expert in the environmental history and issues facing the Monterey Bay, Salinas Valley, Santa Cruz Mountains, Big Sur and beyond. No course credit can be offered yet, but internship, service learning, or independent study credit may be arranged.
