Invasive Species Internships Available with Clark Public Utilities
Project Location:  8600 NE 117th Avenue, Vancouver, Washington 98668
Start date: Position available starting in June.  Full-time start date flexible.


The watershed enhancement program at Clark Public Utilities began in 1992 and has grown to become a regionally recognized environmental restoration effort.  Since the program’s inception, volunteers from a variety of backgrounds have planted over 700,000 native trees to bring salmon back to Salmon Creek.  Unfortunately a variety of non-native invasive plant species threaten these important riparian ecosystems.  

 
Invasive Species Outreach and Education Internship
The Outreach Intern will support the Utilities’ Eradication Nation program, which is focused on removing non-native invasive plants from riparian areas in the Salmon Creek Watershed. This program promotes stewardship by engaging community members to play a part in the invasive species control process through coordinated outreach and organized volunteer events. The Outreach Intern will assist with field activities such as knotweed surveys and control, but will primarily focus on conducting outreach to the community. To be eligible for the internship, applicants must be enrolled in at least ten credits per term during the school year.  See attachment for detailed responsibilities and requirements.

Invasive Species Internship
The Invasive Species Intern will support the Utilities’ Eradication Nation program.  This program is focused on controlling invasive Japanese knotweed and other invasive plant species in the Salmon Creek watershed.  This internship will provide the opportunity to develop a number of natural resource management skills that focus on invasive species control.  To be eligible for the internship, applicants must be enrolled in at least ten credits per term during the school year. See attachment for detailed responsibilities and requirements.

Work hours / internship duration:
Interns are expected to work a minimum of 40 hours per week during the summer. Flex time will be given for weeks where interns are expected to work on Saturdays.  Internship duration is from early June to late September, approximately 500 hours.

Compensation:
Interns must maintain a minimum of ten credit hours per term or semester to be eligible for compensation.  School attendance is not required during the summer break. $9.50 per hour to start; $10.50 after 520 hours. This is a non-benefited position.
