Job Details

Every year, Aspen Center for Environmental Studies (ACES) offers an intensive Summer Naturalist program based at Hallam Lake, our visitor center and 25-acre nature preserve in the heart of Aspen. Summer Naturalists receive field training and hands-on experience leading guided hikes and conducting environmental education programs at Aspen Mountain, Snowmass, the Maroon Bells, ACES sites, and other iconic locations around Aspen. The Summer Naturalist program has a dual purpose. First, ACES aims to provide the best possible education and workplace experience to Naturalists. The second goal is to provide informative and inspiring environmental education to a broad audience through ACES’ daily guided tours.
