Our Organization and Mission:
The Nevada Department of Conservation and Natural Resources’ Division of Natural Heritage (NDNH) is the state’s comprehensive source of scientific data for Nevada’s at-risk plants, animals, and ecological communities. Our mission is to maintain these data to support land management decisions and ensure the continued existence of Nevada’s unique biodiversity.
Position Description:
NDNH, in cooperation with the Bureau of Land Management (BLM), is recruiting one full-time, seasonal Rare Plant Monitoring and Seed Collection Crew Lead for the spring and summer of 2024. This position will lead a two-person crew to survey, document, and map Critically Imperiled and BLM-Sensitive rare plants throughout the state of Nevada. Crews will also monitor phenology and conduct seed collection for high-priority species to establish long-term conservation collections and preserve existing genetic diversity.
This is principally a field-based position.

Crew leads will additionally be responsible for completing office tasks before and after field tours, including assisting with planning field trips, organizing equipment and supplies, managing data, and other tasks as assigned. A field vehicle will be provided.
This work will be based out of the NDNH office in Carson City, Nevada. Training will be provided on data collection and management. The employee will be required to apply and register with a third-party staffing agency and take the State of Nevada Risk Management Defensive Driving course (courses available on 3/19/24 or 3/21/24) or show proof of a recently completed similar course prior to driving a state-owned vehicle.
