Description
The
United States Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) is an environmental Federal Agency
with offices throughout the United States. Through on-site activities located
at a variety of field stations, including wildlife refuges, fish hatcheries,
and ecological services offices, individuals or groups will be introduced to
natural resource careers through “hands-on” work with, and training by, natural
resource professionals employed by the USFWS. The goal is to help develop a new
generation of enthused and effective conservationists and ecologists. Each
selected individual or group is given the opportunity to serve a seasonal
on-site assignment, usually scheduled between June 1st and September 30th.
During the assignments, individuals or groups are introduced to various
real-world conservation and rehabilitation activities such as invasive species
management, habitat restoration, wildlife management, and public education and
interpretation, mixed with informal and formal training sessions directed by
USFWS. The USFWS hereby invites submission of proposals from all potential
sources willing and able to cooperatively administer a program for identifying
and recruiting individuals or groups for assignments at various USFWS stations.
