Restoration Crew Co-Lead or Crew Member

The Restoration Crew Co-Leads work closely with the Greenway Trust restoration team to develop and effectively communicate project plans and expectations to Crew Members and lead them onsite. They are responsible for motivating and encouraging crew morale, while providing coaching and feedback to the team, as well as safety and oversight. The Restoration Crew identifies, surveys for, and controls invasive plants; installs native trees and shrubs; collects monitoring data; and maintains ecological restoration projects in partnership with public land management agencies throughout the Mountains to Sound Greenway National Heritage Area. The Restoration Crew periodically supports Greenway Trust volunteer and education events and works regularly with Greenway Trust staff and occasionally with partner agencies and nonprofit staff, sponsored AmeriCorps members, and volunteers.
