Position Summary:<\/strong>\u00a0<\/p>\n

The\u00a0Invasive Plant Management Individual Placement\u00a0is based in Washington, D.C.\u00a0working\u00a0directly with\u00a0the\u00a0National Capital Region of the\u00a0National Park Service.\u00a0This 10-month AmeriCorps position will serve\u00a0as\u00a0a\u00a0member of the\u00a0Invasive Plant Management Team (IPMT), focusing\u00a0on control of invasive plant species using mechanical and chemical control methods which include but\u00a0are not limited to herbicide application via backpack sprayers and gas operated tank sprayers, chainsaws, brush cutters, hand saws, pruners and loppers.\u00a0In addition, the IPs will be trained\u00a0on\u00a0overall resource management, encouraged to attend NPS-sponsored\u00a0trainings, and to take part in the activities of other resource programs.
