<b><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:sans-serif;color:black;">AmeriCorps:</span></b><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:sans-serif;color:black;"> This position may be eligible for a 900-hour AmeriCorps Education Award of ($2,907.50)

<p style="margin-right:0in;margin-bottom:14.0pt;margin-left:0in;background:white;">
<b><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:sans-serif;color:black;">Project Background and Objectives: </span></b><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:sans-serif;color:black;"> One of the many ways the NPS is addressing invasive species
is through the Exotic Plant Management Program. The program assists parks in preventing introductions of new species, reducing existing infestations, and restoring native plant communities and ecosystem functions. In 2000, the NPS created the Exotic Plant
Management Program that now supports 18 teams contributing in over 300 park units. Exotic Plant Management Teams (EPMT) are led by individuals with specialized knowledge and experience in invasive plant management. Each field-based team operates over a wide
geographic area and serves over a dozen parks to increase operational efficiency. The EPMT uses multiple strategies to create a work plan specific to the needs of the individual partner park. All treatment, control and restoration methods are reviewed and
approved by the partner park and the NPS Integrated Pest Management Program.</span></p>
<p style="margin-right:0in;margin-bottom:14.0pt;margin-left:0in;background:white;">
<span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:sans-serif;color:black;">Participants in the SE-EPMT Program have historically had great access in networking and continued employment within NPS and other agencies involved in natural resource management.
This internship provides a great opportunity to develop professional relationships with many NPS park units and partners in a short amount of time.</span></p>
<p style="margin-right:0in;margin-bottom:14.0pt;margin-left:0in;background:white;">
<b><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:sans-serif;color:black;">Position Description:</span></b><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:sans-serif;color:black;"> After habitat loss, invasive species are considered the greatest threat
to global diversity. Exotic-plant management, including use of mechanical, manual and chemical control and site restoration, is a high priority in our National Parks. The SE-EPMT is tasked with providing assistance in controlling invasive plants for 20 National
Park units in seven southeastern states. In this intensive field position, ACE Interns will be exposed to a variety of terrains to implement and document invasive plant management control methods including manual, mechanical, and chemical techniques using
chainsaws, pole-saws, brush-cutters, hand tools, and manual and gas powered sprayers. Additionally, interns will also be responsible for using GPS and GIS to locate and document sites and invasive plant populations. As many of the sites are located in remote
locations, interns will be required to operate 4WD vehicles and all-terrain vehicles. Transport of equipment typically includes an open trailer and experience pulling, hitching and backing a trailer is considered a plus. </span></p>
<p style="margin-right:0in;margin-bottom:14.0pt;margin-left:0in;background:white;">
<i><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:sans-serif;color:black;">Schedule</span></i><b><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:sans-serif;color:black;">:</span></b><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:sans-serif;color:black;"> A
typical schedule is eight, ten hour days followed by six days off OR four ten-hour days with three days off.</span></p>
<p style="margin-right:0in;margin-bottom:14.0pt;margin-left:0in;background:white;">
<b><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:sans-serif;color:black;">Training:</span></b><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:sans-serif;color:black;"> The EPMT will provide training to interns in manual and chemical control techniques
and safety; Use of GPS/GIS and database programs; Exotic and native plant identification; Off-road and defensive driving skills; Red Cross First Aid/CPR; and ATV/UTV safe operator certification.</span></p>
<p style="margin-right:0in;margin-bottom:14.0pt;margin-left:0in;background:white;">
<b><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:sans-serif;color:black;">Qualifications:</span></b><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:sans-serif;color:black;"> Applicants for the position will hold a minimum of a bachelor's degree and/or
experience in some aspect of natural resource study. This could include subject areas such as botany, ecology, biology, wildlife, natural resources, environmental science, entomology, or related disciplines.</span></p>
