The Position
The crew will assist NPS botanical staff with native seed collection, data collation, and seed curation-critical components supporting habitat restoration efforts throughout the National Park System. Members will receive training in plant species identification and the Seeds of Success (SOS) protocol, widely used by agencies like the BLM, USFWS, and NPS. While initial training and periodic oversight will be provided by NPS staff, members should not expect daily supervision and must be prepared to work independently in the field.
