Site supervisors commit to facilitate career development; provide an introduction to numerous pathways within the conservation field; and create accessible, meaningful, learning opportunities and experiences for interns.
Position Summary:
Bosque del Apache NWR was established in 1939 to provide a critical stopover site for migrating waterfowl. The 57,331-acres refuge is well known for the tens of thousands of cranes, geese, and ducks who winter here each year. Over 30,000 acres of Bosque del Apache are designated wilderness and serve as a year-round or seasonal home for four threatened or endangered species. Water movement throughout the management system occurs with a complex network of canals and irrigation ditches. Surface and groundwater interaction is a key function to the success of the refuge.
This position will focus on water management tasks, including chemically and mechanically treating invasive plant species that inhibit native seed production and threaten refuge water control structures, mowing moist-soil units, and conducting seed yield surveys. These water management tasks will not only benefit the refuge to meet its four biological priorities (1. monitoring water use and quality, 2. managing waterfowl and waterbirds, 3. improving management for listed species, and 4. treating invasive plant species) but will also benefit the community who recreate in the area and the local economy that depend on refuge visitation.
Depending on the technician’s interest, they will also have the opportunity to work with other refuge staff, fellows, and interns both in the field and office. These opportunities may include, but are not limited to, assisting Visitor Services with outreach programs, conducting southwestern willow flycatcher, yellow-billed cuckoo surveys, and waterbird surveys, and assisting the Maintenance Department with facility operations. In addition, the refuge will be hosting a career development workshop in August and the region will be hosting a week-long summit workshop in July for the technician to network and build relationships with other interns and fellows in the Southwest Region. Career development opportunities outside of refuge tasks may also be pursued.
