Individual Placement - Habitat Rehabilitation Technician at Hart Mountain National Antelope Refuge

Student Conservation Association

Lakeview, OR • On-site

$36K - $49K/yr

Temporary

Re-posted 15 days ago

Job description

Position Summary
The primary project will be assisting Refuge Managers and Biologists with restoration of damaged or otherwise degraded shrub-steppe habitats on the Complex Refuges. Efforts will include application of native seed and seed mixes, assessment and monitoring of installed tubeling plants and seed caches, collection of native seed and other plant materials, propagation of native plants from local sources, conducting monitoring of shrub-steppe habitats and related rehabilitation efforts, and invasive species surveys, mapping, and treatment. The majority of work will be completed on Hart Mountain National Antelope Refuge related to the Warner Peak Fire, which burned over 65,000 acres in 2024; however, work will also be done on Sheldon National Wildlife Refuge in relation to ongoing mesic management and reclamation efforts and other post-wildfire restorative efforts (i.e., for fires other than Warner Peak). While most work will focus on shrub-steppe habitat rehabilitation, the member may also assist with mesic resource restoration and wildlife surveys, to include sage-grouse lek counts, pika surveys, and pygmy rabbit surveys. The member will work alongside Refuge staff, other seasonal field technicians, and volunteers to complete their work.
