Job description

Position Summary

Kealia Pond National Wildlife Refuge is seeking a motivated and conservation minded Habitat Technician Placement to support habitat restoration and invasive species management across one of Hawaii's most important wetland ecosystems. This internship offers hands on training and experience in field biology, natural resource management, and public engagement while contributing directly to the protection of endangered species and native habitats. Interns will work closely with U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service staff to survey, map, and control invasive species; restore native vegetation; and support ongoing ecological monitoring. This position is ideal for early career professionals interested in wildlife biology, ecology, environmental science, or conservation work in Hawaii. Hawaii's tropical dry forests are a critically endangered habitat type that has declined by significantly in the last 100 years due to clearing and burning for agriculture and development. While most of the remaining tropical dry forests on Maui are in montane areas, the Kealia Pond restoration site is located in the low lying coastal areas of Maui's Central Valley, adjacent to one of the most important wetlands in the state. This placement is a unique opportunity to be involved in a restoration project from the design and planning stages through implementation that will have long lasting impacts on the refuge and across Maui.
