    This is a scientific and public-facing position to facilitate volunteer and citizen science engagement while leading conservation-based projects for the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission.

    This position provides direct volunteer coordination for conservation projects (including citizen science projects), geared toward, but not limited to, upland terrestrial habitat and species, imperiled species, nonnative and conflict species in the FWC’s Northeast Region. The Regional Volunteer Program Biologist position is stationed at the Northeast Region Office in Ocala, FL. The coordinator will design, plan, implement and monitor conservation projects that use volunteers; recruit, train, and manage volunteers for these projects; and provide volunteer management support and citizen science best practices to FWC’s land managers and biologists. The coordinator will also network with external agencies to establish partnerships to assist with implementing conservation and citizen science projects that use volunteers on public and private lands.

    This is an exciting opportunity for an outgoing, self-motivated individual with a commitment to conservation. The successful candidate will have excellent organizational, leadership, community development, project design, and communication skills; and will demonstrate dedication to the FWC’s mission and conservation of Florida’s fish, wildlife and habitat resources. Broad-based working knowledge of local ecology and a variety of Florida’s non-game species across multiple taxa is preferred.

    Pilot Testers Needed to Get it Right (Before) the First Time!

    LEEF is exploring a new way to connect educators to a current recycling program, and we would love your help!

    We are reaching out to a small (and select) group of educators to ‘kick the tires’ on a new online version of Don’t Waste It!, a newly developed recycling program for educators.  

    WHAT WE ARE ASKING FROM YOU:

    We would like you to be one of our first six users in Florida. The face-to-face version of Don’t Waste It! training is already being implemented in several southeastern states, including Florida.  Now we are developing a way to connect educators to the program through online training.

    This will be a dress rehearsal to make sure the facilitator and team are prepared for the launch of the online program.  You will be testing the tasks involved in the training as well as the timing needed for participants to complete tasks.  You will also identify major (or minor!) hiccups in any part of the online program.

    Since the pilot will be conducted from November 1-19, 2021, we will need your commitment right away.  For more information, contact our Florida Don’t Waste It! Advisory Council Member, Matt Denny:
