Sign up with Clera and we'll reach out the moment a role actually fits you — no more spraying applications into the void.
Acquire natural materials to construct low-tech process-based restoration structures like Beaver Dam Analogs and Post-Assisted Log Structures. Perform stream monitoring and maintenance while living and working in remote outdoor locations.
Candidates must be able to lift 55 pounds, possess a valid driver's license, and be willing to travel and camp in rugged conditions. Experience in conservation corps, firefighting, or similar outdoor construction is desired.
About the role
We are currently seeking traveling team members for our stream restoration and monitoring crew! The restoration crews travel in teams of 5-10 people building and monitoring low-tech process-based restoration (LTPBR) structures. These structures will include Beaver Dam Analogs and Post-Assisted Log Structures. Restoration crews will spend their season outdoors; living and working in remote locations throughout the west.
Field life is rugged and rewarding. Crew members will be living in remote locations - often with limited amenities. Crews will meet at job sites or other pre-determined locations before each hitch, and should primarily expect to camp at each worksite during the hitch. However, Anabranch will provide travel trailers, short-term rental housing, or hotel stays when possible during on-hitch time, location dependent. Accommodations are available during hitch, and typically dorm-style living with communal meal prep, shared kitchens, and shared sleeping quarters. Teams will travel often - generally moving to a new project site for each hitch.
Work schedules are typically eight day hitches of 10-hour shifts followed by six days off. Sometimes hitch schedules may be adjusted to four 10-hour shifts followed by three days off, or five 8-hour shifts followed by two days off when necessary. All necessary camping gear (other than sleeping bags) as well as all necessary safety gear, waders, and wading boots will be provided. Additionally, per diem is afforded to the group for family-style grocery shopping and meal preparation.
What you'll do
The primary job duties are to locally acquire natural building materials (e.g., brush, woody debris, & rock), stage said materials, and construct beaver dam analogs (BDAs), post-assisted log structures (PALS), and other low-tech structures for riverscape restoration projects. Constructing BDAs and PALS entails cutting and hauling slash to degraded streams, constructing in stream structures, and pounding posts via hydraulic post pounder to lock everything in place. Construction utilizes a variety of tools, including but not limited to: hand tools, chainsaws, grip hoists, hydraulic post pounders, ATV/UTVs, trailers, and more.
