Position Details:
Stewards Individual Placements, a program of Conservation Legacy, provides individuals with service and career opportunities to strengthen communities and preserve our natural resources. The Community Volunteer Ambassador (CVA) Program combines the strength of a national leader in conservation service with the National Park Service to train a diverse group of emerging leaders to assist park units in building lasting connections to communities.
The Community Volunteer Ambassador’s (CVA’s) primary responsibility will be to improve the existing outreach and education materials and further NCR IPMT’s strategy to engage new audiences. This position will also assist the National Capital PRISM (Partnership for Regional Invasive Species Management) with coordinating Weed Warrior and Invader Detectives training events and professional development training for community-based organizations and partners. The mission of the National Capital PRISM is to protect biodiversity by minimizing the adverse impacts of invasive species on ecosystems throughout the National Capital Area. PRISM members include both governmental and nongovernmental partners. This position will work closely with the NCR IPMT Liaison and National Capital PRISM Coordinator on various projects to help further PRISM’s mission. Weed Warriors are volunteers trained to recognize and remove non-native, invasive plants, while Invader Detectives help National Capital PRISM detect new populations of Early Detection and Rapid Response (EDRR) species. CVA will also be able to join the NCR IPMT field staff and assist them with invasive plant control and surveys throughout the growing season. During their term, the CVA will obtain a pesticide technician license for MD, VA, WV, and DC, complete Operational Leadership training, obtain First Aid/CPR/ AED certification, and have the opportunity to complete Chainsaw Safety, Maintenance and Operations (CSMO) training.
Site Description:
The National Capital Region Invasive Plant Management Team (NCR IPMT) is a program in the regional Natural Resources and Science (NRS) office stationed in Washington, DC. NCR IPMT plans and implements treatments for non-native, invasive plants in the National Parks of the National Capital Region. The team inventories and maps targeted invasive vegetation, develops control strategies, and, through partnerships, follows treatments with restoration of disturbed areas. The team also conducts outreach and education on invasive plants with park staff, interested volunteers, and community groups. Through volunteer opportunities offered by the NCR IPMT, the program hopes to build an invasive species community of practice among governmental and non-governmental partners, including friends’ groups and individual volunteers. The team and our partners understand that invasive species do not concern themselves with jurisdictional boundaries, and we must think and act on a landscape scale to improve and protect natural communities found across the great DC metropolitan area.
