This is the opportunity you have been looking for! Your chance to spend the summer visiting parks from Maine to Virginia!!!
The National Park Service Inventory and Monitoring is recruiting 4 seasonal biological science technicians to collect forest health data in 17 parks throughout the Eastern US (from Acadia in Maine to southern Virginia). Incumbents will establish permanent forest monitoring plots and collect data on forest health, structure and composition, regeneration, understory vegetation, coarse woody debris, and soil characteristics. This is largely a field based position, and incumbents will be required to carry heavy field equipment (40+lbs), and hike though rough terrain on and off trail. Park housing will be available at the duty stations (Acadia National Park (Bar Harbor, ME) and Fredericksburg, VA). When away from these duty stations (50% of the time), the National Park Service will pay lodging and per diem costs.
