You have received this announcement because your university or organization is part of a network of universities and NGOs that have entered into a mutual, cooperative agreement with the National Park Service (plus several other federal agencies) under a program entitled "Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit" or CESU for short. The CESU cooperative agreement greatly streamlines the process for the National Park Service to acquire technical and professional skills at your university. The CESU program also assists university and NGO researchers who have an interest in conducting research on National Parks and acts as a general liaison with university faculty and students.

                                  
A good opportunity for someone with military background and some knowledge
of U.S. Forest Service operations.  The National Forests in Mississippi is
a good place to work and the Desoto has one of the largest prescribed burn
programs in the country.  Fire experience/training would be a bonus for
someone interested.

American Conservation Experience: Grand Canyon Vegetation Management
Internship

ACE is a 501 (c)(3) Non-Profit Organization.  To learn more, please visit
www.usaconservation.org.

Start Date: February 7, 2010
End Date: May 8, 2010

Project Description:
In partnership with Grand Canyon National Park, ACE will have four 3-month
vegetation management internship opportunities available.  The internships
will provide a wonderful opportunity to explore the field of vegetation
management and to experience Grand Canyon's various ecosystems.  The ACE
interns will assist Grand Canyon vegetation staff with early season
vegetation management activities on the South Rim, at Desert View, and at
Lees Ferry, and will help lead volunteer groups during the spring break
period.  Work will be primarily in the field.

Although all interns will have opportunities for some experience in all the
various portions of the vegetation program, each individual will work
primarily in one area.

The Horticulture/Nursery Intern will support the horticulturist and nursery
manager, concentrating on nursery work including processing, cleaning and
treating seed, propagating native plants, and maintaining the native plant
nursery in the park.  They will work with nursery staff and supervise
volunteers on a regular basis.

The Hazard Tree Intern will support the Hazard Tree Coordinator
systematically surveying the developed areas of the South Rim and North Rim
for potential hazardous trees, pruning tree branches of designated trees for
trail and road clearance, and trimming of shrubs from edge of sidewalks and
walkways.

The Restoration Intern will work with the Restoration Biologist and the
Crew Coordinator   completing restoration activities including native
plant installation, restoration site maintenance, native plant salvage,
invasive plant control, field crew data collection and organization, and
supervising volunteers.

The Invasive Plant Intern will assist the Invasive Biologist with invasive
plant control work.  This includes co-leading several volunteer group trips
that will be camping and working at Lees Ferry and at Indian Gardens, where
lower elevation makes for warmer temperatures and an earlier start to the
field season.  Plants will controlled by removal with hand tools and control
work is documented and mapped using GPS units.

Project Location:
Work and living locations are at high elevation (South Rim 6860 ft., Desert
View 7340 ft., and Lees Ferry 3200 ft.) and temperatures will be cold in the
early part of the work period with occasional snow and frequent ice.

Work Schedule:
Interns will typically work five 9-hour days one week, and four 9-hour days
the next.  Occasionally there will be weekend assignments leading
volunteers.  Each position will be slightly different so flexibility is
required for those shifts.

Room and Board:
ACE interns will be accommodated in park housing in Grand Canyon Village,
South Rim.  Housing is in a shared cabin, with up to two interns per
bedroom.  There is a common kitchen and living room.  Internet access is
available nearby.  On extremely cold days the nearby Recreation Center is a
fun place to spend your time.  ACE intern will be provided with a $70/week
stipend to cover the cost of food and incidental expenses.

Requirements:
Anyone physically fit, capable of hard work, and between the ages of 18 and
35 may apply.  Preference will be given to applicants with an educational
background or field experience in Botany, Biology, Forestry, Environmental
Science or other natural resource fields.  ACE is appropriate for hard
working, positive minded people who want to improve their career
opportunities through hard work.

To Apply:
Please email resume and cover letter to American Conservation Experience at
info@... with "Grand Canyon Vegetation Management Internship
- ECOLOG referred" in the subject heading.  Your application will be
considered for all four positions.  Please include a simple list, with
intern titles only, numbered 1-4 at the top of your cover letter indicating
your interest in/order of preference for each position.
