Noxious Weed Crew in Hells Canyon

INTRODUCTION  

The Tri-County Cooperative Weed Management Area (CWMA) manages noxious weed projects across nearly 5.1 million acres of land encompassing Union, Baker, and Wallowa Counties in Northeastern Oregon. Approximately 47% of the CWMA is federal ownership (USFS and BLM), and the remaining is composed of tribal, state, and private ownership. All funds received are through cooperative agreements and grants. Tri-County CWMA is in search of a Seasonal Field Technician to inventory and treat noxious weeds and work with landowners/partners to implement noxious weed management plans. We work with many different agencies across the Tri-County region and offer a variety of beautiful landscapes to work in.  

JOB DESCRIPTION   

Duties may include, but are not limited to the following examples:   

  • Herbicide application to control noxious weeds with backpack and atv sprayers. The Field Technician will be expected to work long days carrying a backpack sprayer in rough terrain. Terrain may vary from riparian areas, forests, pastures, canyonlands, and rangeland. Project locations are located throughout Union, Baker, Wallowa, and Umatilla Counties.
  • After training, the technician will be expected to mix and load herbicides and apply them according to the label. Some knowledge of noxious weed species and native plants is required.
  • Survey, inventory, and map noxious weed infestations using handheld mapping devices. Surveys may be done on foot, boat, or ATV. Survey May require long days of hiking in steep terrain.
  • Maintain mapping information, treatment records, and monitoring data using programs such as ArcGIS and Microsoft software. Extract and analyze data to inform project manager about effects of treatments and to provide feedback data to program partners and funding entities.
