http://mtcorps.org/join/young-adult-programs/wildland-restoration-team/

More Info
MCC’s Wildland Restoration Program puts members on the frontlines of invasive 
species management and ecological restoration in an early detection rapid 
response model for wildland restoration.  Crew members are trained in plant 
identification, inventory and monitoring techniques using GPS, invasive species 
management that may include chemical, biological and mechanical treatments, and 
resource conservation management practices. Wildland Restoration crews may also 
participate in innovative wetlands and habitat restoration projects such as 
beaver pond mimicry. Projects are often rigorous requiring carrying a heavy 
backpack sprayer and working in hot weather across rugged terrain while wearing 
protective gear. But the exposure to resource professionals working on premier 
public lands in the West, and real-world job experience in wildland restoration 
is unparalleled.

Please pass this opportunity to anyone you know who might be interested. 

Happy Trails,
Nate
