Natural History Wanderings

There is a 2-year vegetation fellowship position open for applications from now until Aug 22 at Valley Water, open to those currently in an MS program or MS degree holders. The major work of the fellow will be to perform reference habitat assessments at some of the best preserved areas in Santa Clara County (think oak woodlands, riparian forest, serpentine. A very nice way to spend one’s time.) A secondary task will be a synthesis and gap analysis of the stewardship projects and policies of the District, with the aim of strengthening the environmental stewardship mission of the organization. The main contact/mentor for the fellow will be Zooey Diggory, whom many of you know, and who is an excellent coworker. Excellent pay and benefits. Please share this announcement with any networks you think are appropriate; we are hoping to have a good pool of strong candidates but have only a few known interested parties at this point.
