BLM Has Openings for Summer 'Weed Warrior' Positions
The Bureau of Land Management has announced job openings
for nine "weed warriors," seasonal employees who will work next spring and
summer to combat the spread of invasive and noxious weeds on public land
in northeast California and far northwest Nevada.
The BLM plans to
fill five jobs in Susanville, two in Alturas and two in Cedarville for a
season that begins in mid April and runs for up to six
months.
"This is a good opportunity for people who want to work
outdoors and make a difference in the health of our public lands," said
Nancy Haug, BLM's Northern California district manager. "These jobs are
also a good first step toward a career in natural resource management."
Applications must be filed via the internet by February 28,
2010.
Job descriptions and application instructions are available
at www.usajobs.gov. Jobs are listed under the title Range Aid/Technician
(Weeds), under the announcement number NHRMC-2010-0045.
Weed
warriors work four 10-hour days per week in rugged back country locations
to locate, map and apply treatments to weeds that threaten wildlife
habitat and productivity of the land. They must be able to operate
manual-transmission four-wheel-drive pickup trucks. They should have
strong communication and map reading skills. Experience with global
positioning systems (GPS) equipment is helpful. Because work is performed
in hot weather and rugged terrain, crew members must be in good physical
condition.
For more information contact Alan Uchida in the BLM
Alturas Field Office, (530) 233-4666; Josh Huffman the Eagle Lake Field
Office, (530) 257-0456; or Lynette Sullivan in the Surprise Field Office,
