Job Description/Responsibilities:

This includes leading and/or assisting with the delivery of a variety of projects that focus on species at risk and biodiversity enhancement on agro-ecosystems. The candidate will be required to engage members of the public in stewardship programs and activities primarily focused within the Annapolis River watershed, but in some cases, projects may extend across southwest Nova Scotia. The successful candidate will be required to use their personal vehicle for work travel and will be compensated according to the prevailing provincial milage rate.

This position will require a mix of office and fieldwork. The candidate must have excellent written and interpersonal communication skills and be comfortable working with members of the public and partners from external organizations.

Specific tasks include, but are not limited to:
• The identification and execution of strategies for effective landowner engagement in CARP programs;
• Participation in public outreach events to support landowner engagement;
• Citizen science volunteer training;
• Field-based assessments such as general habitat assessments, species at risk surveys, or riparian health assessments;
• Site identification, planning, and coordination for habitat restoration and enhancement activities;
• Habitat restoration or enhancement activities such as tree planting (including designing shelterbelts and riparian planting projects) or fence installation;
• Coordination, supervision, and training of project staff and/or volunteers;
• Coordination with external partners to deliver collaborative projects, and identify project synergies or partnership opportunities;
• Monitoring past habitat restorations to track tree/shrub survivorship and habitat improvements;
• Report writing for a variety of audiences, including project funders, private landowners, or members of the public;
• Produce maps using GIS for planning or reporting purposes;
• Research and data synthesis or analysis;
• Represent CARP at workshops, meetings, or conferences;
• Participation in staff meetings and project planning meetings as required.

The Agro-ecosystems Stewardship Project Lead works closely and in cooperation with other staff members and in accordance with all CARP policies approved by the Board of Directors. The Agro-ecosystems Stewardship Project Lead is not part of the CARP management team and no staff members report directly to them.
