Salary-<\/strong> $21.17 hourly<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Position Description:<\/span><\/span><\/strong>
The Prairie Restoration Specialist (Specialist) will work with a team in the maintenance and restoration<\/span>
of prairie sites, primarily at Joint Base Lewis-McChord (JBLM) and in the South Salish Sea region. This<\/span>
position will have a range of restoration responsibilities in support of the program\u2019s regional<\/span>
conservation goals. The Specialist will also take a lead position in various project areas. Fieldwork<\/span>
priorities are being refined at the time of this announcement. We anticipate this position providing<\/span>
leadership for prairie invasive plant control as well as supporting other project areas. Tasks include<\/span>
control of invasive plants, vegetation monitoring, seed collection, planting native plants and conducting<\/span>
prescribed burns. The Specialist will instruct other members of the restoration team in their specialty<\/span>
area. The Specialist will also work with project leaders and partners to plan and lead the implementation<\/span>
of tasks in their specialty. The position entails strenuous physical activity and operation of heavy<\/span>
equipment, sometimes within active military training areas on JBLM.<\/span><\/span><\/span>
This position requires a high-level of responsibility and interpersonal skills, sound work ethic, and a<\/span>
positive attitude during long field days. Development of positive and effective relationships with<\/span>
volunteers and partners is critical. The Specialist must also be able to work independently, completing<\/span>
substantial tasks without direct supervision or through the supervision of conservation partners, such as<\/span>
Joint Base Lewis-McChord Fish and Wildlife and Forestry staff. The South Sound Prairie Program is<\/span>
science-based, and the Specialist will be required to document, report and share all data pertinent to<\/span>
the operations on a regular basis.<\/span><\/span>
The Specialist is expected to be an integral member of our team. The Specialist will become a staff<\/span>
information source on the effective and efficient implementation of restoration actions. The Specialist<\/span>
will need to be able to communicate effectively with partners, volunteers and the public concerning<\/span>
specific work and the work of the South Sound Program.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":9433,"featured_media":34097,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mi_skip_tracking":false,"_s2mail":"yes"},"categories":[15],"tags":[4,28,33,141,13],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/sites.evergreen.edu\/mesweekly\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/45313"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/sites.evergreen.edu\/mesweekly\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/sites.evergreen.edu\/mesweekly\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sites.evergreen.edu\/mesweekly\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/9433"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sites.evergreen.edu\/mesweekly\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=45313"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/sites.evergreen.edu\/mesweekly\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/45313\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":45314,"href":"https:\/\/sites.evergreen.edu\/mesweekly\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/45313\/revisions\/45314"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sites.evergreen.edu\/mesweekly\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/34097"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/sites.evergreen.edu\/mesweekly\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=45313"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sites.evergreen.edu\/mesweekly\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=45313"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sites.evergreen.edu\/mesweekly\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=45313"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
