A lot of the work revolved around the maintenance of the prairie, but I also helped plant the wetland area and maintain other areas such as the garden beds in the front of the museum. I learned a lot about the native plants of Iowa, mainly in the prairie ecosystem, as well as how to take care of invasives in the prairie. If you’re interested in landscape architecture, horticulture, or something similar, you could learn a lot from this position." - Cooper Larsen, 2022 intern. He is pursuing a B.A. in Landscape Architecture from Iowa State University. "I worked for the Museum of Danish America in the summer of 2021. Covid-19 was still a huge fear then, but I was grateful to have found this cheerful and welcoming community for the summer. My duties included pulling and treating invasive plants, keeping a lookout for butterflies, birds, and other wildlife, as well as documenting the changes that I was seeing in the prairie. I also had the opportunity to watch the reshaping of the wetland and helped reseed the area in the last month of my internship. My favorite moments were learning about the traditions of MoDA: Sankt Hans Aften, coffee and kringle, more coffee, and keeping history alive. I learned a love for botany and restoration that summer which has led me into the career path I’m on today." - Wren Klump, 2021 intern, B.S. in Environmental Science Individuals interested in learning more about the Jens Jensen Prairie Landscape Park and the Museum of Danish America may do so at our website: www.danishmuseum.org. The Museum of Danish America is committed to creating a diverse environment and is an equal opportunity employer.
