Requirements: • Valid driver’s license • Good communication skills • Good physical condition (be able to kneel for extend periods of time) • Ability to work with minimal supervision • Field botany skills preferred but not required • Work will require staying at the SFREC bunkhouse (room and board provided) • Minimum 2 week commitment To apply, send Cover Letter & CV/Resume to Loralee Larios ([email protected]) by February 5, 2016.
