Wilderness Fellow Position Description Title : Wilderness Fellow Reports To : SWS National Program Director Classification : Hourly Location : 10 Positions are available, located in the following: Hungry Horse, Montana; Helena, Montana; Jackson, Wyoming (2 positions); Central Sierras, California; Tahoe, California; Rutland, Vermont; Rhinelander, Wisconsin; Hoonah and Yakutat, Alaska; Ketchikan, Alaska. Duration : June 10, 2019 – December 3, 2019 Time : Full Time, Seasonal Salary : $600 weekly stipend Benefits: 1 earned personal day per month (vacation is not eligible to be cashed out at any time) and federal holidays; Forest Service housing provided. Closing Date : April 26th, 2019 Partners The Society for Wilderness Stewardship (SWS) is a non-profit organization seeking to promote excellence in the professional practice of wilderness stewardship, science, and education to ensure the life-sustaining benefits of wilderness.  In other words, we are a professional society working to set the standard for wilderness management.  The Aldo Leopold Wilderness Research Institute (Leopold) is dedicated to the development and dissemination of knowledge needed to improve management of wilderness, parks, and similarly protected areas.  Leopold was established in 1993 under the Rocky Mountain Research Station and has been the wilderness research arm of federal agencies ever since.  The Institute operates under an interagency agreement among the federal agencies that have wilderness management or research responsibility – the Bureau of Land Management, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, U.S. Forest Service, National Park Service, and the U.S. Geological Survey. The U.S. Forest Service (USFS) was founded by President Theodore Roosevelt in 1905, and today oversees 445 wilderness areas or 33% of the National Wilderness Preservation System.  Inaugural Chief of the USFS, Gifford Pinchot, stated that the USFS existed to “provide the greatest amount of good for the greatest amount of people in the long run.” Program Overview The Wilderness Fellows Program is a collaborative of the three organizations above, and was created in order to complete Wilderness Character Baseline Assessments, thereby continuing important assessment work that has been underway since 2001, and fulfilling the USFS Wilderness Stewardship Performance (WSP) element “Wilderness Character Baseline”.  The Wilderness Character Baseline requires that steps be made to determine a baseline and provide the foundation for evaluating trends in wilderness character.  These trends indicate the outcome of management actions and success at ‘preserving wilderness character’ as directed by the Wilderness Act. As stated in Keeping It Wild 2: An Updated Interagency Strategy to Monitor Trends in Wilderness Character Across the National Wilderness Preservation System (Landres et. al, 2015), “the results of wilderness character monitoring provide [agency staff who manage wilderness day-to-day, and regional and national staff who develop wilderness policy and assess its effectiveness] some of the key data they need to improve wilderness stewardship and wilderness policy.”  The report goes on to say that, “Implementing this monitoring strategy does not guarantee the preservation of wilderness character, but it informs and improves wilderness stewardship, and ensures managers are accountable to the central mandate of the 1964 Wilderness act – to preserve wilderness character.” In 2001, the USFS Wilderness Monitoring Committee developed the first national framework for Wilderness Character Monitoring (WCM).  Progression was attained by the USFS in 2006 with WCM pilot testing occurring in every FS region, the publication of the Applying the Concept of Wilderness Character to National Forest Planning, Monitoring and Management in 2008, and the 2009 distribution of the Technical Guide for Monitoring Selected Conditions Related to Wilderness Character .   The USFS and Leopold now stand at the brink of publishing the second generation Technical Guide (expected June 2019), a tool that promises to advance WCM across the nation.  Wilderness Fellows will apply the tools in the Technical Guide to carry out wilderness character baseline assessments.  Fellows will complete base level work for numerous wilderness areas that will inform future targeted assessments. Position Overview The Wilderness Fellow Program is seeking qualified candidates to fill Wilderness Fellow positions.  Fellows are based in locations around the country, with a significant amount of travel within their base region.   Work is roughly 80% office based and 20% field based and is performed at USFS offices to directly support the goals of a collaborative wilderness character monitoring initiative currently underway in the USFS. Primary Wilderness Fellow Responsibilities Attend one week training in Granby, Colorado (travel provided).  Work out of remote USFS locations, residing in USFS housing.  Coordinate meetings with USFS resource specialists and line officers to gather information regarding wilderness character. Research, compile and analyze legislative and administrative historical data per wilderness area. Travel to and into wilderness areas.  Compile and analyze data for selected monitoring indicators and complete components of a baseline assessment for wilderness character monitoring. Implement inventory and monitoring strategies for tracking wilderness character. Participate in weekly conference calls. Set and meet benchmarks and deadlines for data collection, meetings, and draft and final reports. Create a narrative report for each wilderness area worked in. Key Qualifications Bachelor’s degree in a related field, Master’s degree preferred. Educational background in Wilderness Management, Protected Area/Natural Resource Management, Recreation Resource Management, Conservation Social Science, Environmental Policy, Natural, Biological and/or Physical Science. Deep interest in wilderness/resource management and the U.S. Forest Service. Outstanding written and oral communication skills. Research skill and attention to detail and organization. Ability to work both independently and collaboratively on projects, high degree of initiative. Understanding and ability to use GIS is a plus. Results-oriented with the ability to set and follow realistic goals and objectives. Flexibility to adapt when faced with changing needs and priorities.

Field Ecologists reports to the Field Operations Manager . Field Ecologist I -   The Field Ecologist I is a technical position that performs routine maintenance and inventory management on all terrestrial and possibly aquatic instrumentation and sampling equipment. Location NEON’s Domain 02 encompasses the mid-Atlantic region from Georgia to Pennsylvania and New Jersey.  The core site, which is home to the domain’s support facility and laboratory, is located at the Smithsonian Conservation Biology Institute in Front Royal VA, only 66 miles from Washington DC. The other two sites that comprise D02 are located in Annapolis, MD at the Smithsonian Ecological Research Center (SERC) and at Blandy Experimental Farm, in Boyce VA, a Part of University of Virginia. The field season here begins in March and runs through to the beginning of November so you will experience the full spectrum of weather this area can offer.  There are ticks that carry Lyme disease, among other zoonotics, and the vegetation can often be difficult to work in. Because SERC is over two hours away, there will be overnight stays that can last up to a week depending on the sampling that is taking place.  Techs will need to be flexible in the hours that they will be asked to work, with some days starting before dawn and some ending after dusk.  Much of our work is conducted at plots that will remain active research sites for the length of the project.

Program Overview Ecosystems is one of four major programs within EDF. The program has bold goals to reach by 2025 that are centered around reversing habitat loss on working lands, building resilient coastal communities, rebalancing water systems and their ability to provide a resilient water supply, and ending agriculture fertilizer pollution. The VP, Ecosystems Working Lands will lead the teams and formulate the strategies associated with creating resilient working lands that benefit people and the planet by improving habitat, reduce impacts on water quality and rebalance management of water supplies, mitigating climate change, and contributing to thriving economies. With a projected 9 billion mouths to feed by mid-century, meeting human needs for food and water in ways that benefit natural systems requires that we sustainably intensify agriculture - grow more on the same (or less) land with techniques that cut pollution and increase biodiversity. EDF’s Working Lands program builds on our credibility as an unconventional but credible partner, working with ranchers, farmers and companies to bring sustainable farming practices and habitat protection to scale; developing better ways to track progress toward environmental outcomes; and aligning public and private financial incentives to reduce the risk for farmers and ranchers who adopt more sustainable and resilient farming systems.  The Working Lands Program has emerged from over a decade’s of work at EDF. This position leverages that record to position EDF as a national level leader, with opportunity for expanding internationally.
