The Nature Conservancy of Washington is seeking several seasonal field technicians to assist with collection of pre-treatment vegetation, stream habitat, and amphibian data for a watershed restoration study being conducted atTNC's Ellsworth Creek Preserve in southwestern Washington. Ellsworth Creek is a coastal forested watershed consisting of approximately 300 acres of old-growth forest surrounded by approximately 7000 acres of younger forest that was intensively managed for timber production prior to Conservancy ownership. The Conservancy is now conducting extensive research to investigate scientifically sound methods of restoring late-successional characteristics and function in the younger forests.
The following positions are available: Science Technician I - Plants (3 positions); Science Technician I - Amphibians (2 positions); Science Technician I - Streams (2 positions); and Science Technician I - Stream Crew Leader (1 position). We seek committed and enthusiastic individuals willing to work long hours in harsh conditions, including steep and heavily vegetated terrain and inclement weather. Although field work will be at Ellsworth Creek, crews will be based out of Astoria, Oregon (the closest major town and site of the Ellsworth Creek field office).
