Environmental Science, Resources & Studies

In partnership with JVC Northwest / AmeriCorps, The Southeast Alaska Land Trust is recruiting for an "Environmental Connections Coordinator" who will conduct an inventory of plants on land trust properties with beneficial uses (subsistence, cultural, medicinal, etc.) as well as inventory invasive species. There is also a budding partnership with Juneau Audubon to add in monitoring of birds at a couple of locations in Juneau.  Position does not require a degree in science (or a degree at all) as SEAL Trust can provide all of the training needed, although a successful applicant will have an affinity for science, natural history, the outdoors, etc.

 There is info at   www.sealt.org, but interested students should send their application directly to JVC here: 

Margaret Custer, Executive Director at SEAL Trust can also answer questions:  margaret@sealt.org |

A team of researchers at UAS is working on improving snowpack modeling for river and avalanche forecasting. Our main study site is the Fish Creek Basin around Eaglecrest. You can help us by collecting snow depth measurements if you are traveling through the backcountry. Taking, recording, and submitting measurements is easy -- all you need is a probe and an app on your phone. Additional information, including how to access the app, can be found in the attachment.

Thanks for your help!
