WSC, Center for Natural Lands Mgmt, Pollinator Science Tech.
 
 
 
The Center for Natural Lands Management (CNLM) stewardship activities are currently divided between California and Washington. In the State of Washington, CNLM focuses on conservation of one of the rarest ecosystems in United States, the prairie and oak woodlands of the south Puget Sound region. At least 92 percent of the prairie habitat in south Puget Sound region has been converted to other land uses or destroyed. CNLM aims to protect and restore prairie and oak habitats, and support the recovery of rare or listed species. Our Washington staff serves our conservation objectives by acquiring, managing and restoring conservation lands, conducting applied restoration research projects, growing native plants and seed, and conducting outreach to partners and the public. CNLM seeks five fulltime AmeriCorps members to fill prairie restoration service opportunities with the South Sound Prairies Program in the Olympia office. These five positions include a Prairie Restoration Technician, an Avian Technician, a Seed Production Technician, a Prairie Science Technician and a Pollinator Science Technician. These positions are offered through and contingent on funding from the Washington Service Corps.

Member Duties : The Butterfly and Pollinator Science Technician will provide essential support to two ecological research studies assessing how restoration supports rare and native species of western Washington prairies: (1) effects of habitat and predation on survival of endangered butterflies and (2) effects of restoration on plant-pollinator communities. S/he will spend ~60% of the time assisting CNLM staff with experimental research and species monitoring in the field; ~40% will be spent on identification of insect specimens, observations of butterfly video footage, and data management. Responsibilities will include literature reviews, experiment set-up, data collection (including plant community, pollinator, and behavioral data from time-lapse videos), data entry, and quality control. This position entails a high level of responsibility and will draw heavily on the member’s scientific background, organizational skills, collaborative sound work ethic, and positive attitude during long field days.
