Job Description
Description: Woodlands Conservancy is a nonprofit land trust organization. We are seeking a Field Technician to conduct forest restoration activities within 840-acres of forested wetlands within the Greater New Orleans area. This is part of an ongoing effort to reduce non-native invasive vegetation and reforest with native seedlings and trees.
The Field Technician will conduct spot herbicide application to non-native, invasive vegetation within a forested wetland environment, utilize a tractor with subsoiler to establish planting sites for bare root seedlings; utilize a tractor with auger to establish holes for containerized trees, conduct and supervise planting activities, tag and record GPS location of trees, maintain planted plots, remove fallen invasive trees, assist with vegetation surveys, summarize treatment data and planting data in a mapping program and other associated activities as needed. Planting activities with volunteers often occur on weekends and thus some weekend work will be required.
The work will occur primarily within a 649-acre forested wetland in Plaquemines Parish though some work may occur within a 190-acre forested wetland in Orleans parish. The position pays $18 - $21/hour. Funding is currently available for up to 6 months with a possible extension depending on additional project funding.
Qualifications:
Degree: Bachelor's degree (or higher degree) in biological sciences, agriculture, natural resource management, or related disciplines appropriate to the position OR two years of Field experience implementing tasks described in the previous section.
Applicants must have a valid driver’s license, be able to walk three miles and be able to lift 50 lbs. Preference will be given to applicants with experience in identifying and surveying vegetation, conducting herbicide treatments, utilizing a chainsaw, heavy equipment and GPS devices. Must possess strong organizational skills, strong interpersonal communication skills, self-motivated, attention to detail, punctual, and accountable. The Field Technician can anticipate days in the field working in adverse conditions (heat, bugs, etc.).
Application:
Apply through Work NOLA by sending a cover letter, resume, and contact information for 3 references.
About Woodlands Conservancy
Plaquemines ParishCompany ProfileWoodlands Conservancy was organized as a nonprofit land trust organization in 2001 to preserve and restore forested wetlands and other ecologically or historically significant lands in Louisiana. Woodlands Conservancy owns five contiguous properties, totaling 190 acres of forested wetlands in Orleans Parish known as Delacroix Preserve. Additionally, Woodlands Conservancy owns the 649-acre Woodlands Preserve in Plaquemines Parish. These unique properties, containing one of the region’s last stands of bottomland hardwood forests, serve as one of the first ”fattening-up” areas for over 100 species of migratory birds. In addition to the values of the properties for wildlife and recreational and educational outings, this bottomland forest serves as a “natural sponge,” having the capacity to absorb 32 million gallons of water annually and functioning as a windstorm buffer to the residences and businesses in upper Plaquemines Parish as well as the Orleans Parish communities of English Turn and Lower Coast Algiers.
