Assist SVT staff in creating baseline documentation reports for new conservation restrictions and reservations. Primary responsibilities will be to accompany staff on field visits to photograph the property and record detailed information regarding the location of photos and condition of the property, creating maps of the property, adding property information to the database, and compiling final documents for our archive, field binders, and landowners.

Skills needed:

Critical: Excellent organizational skills.

Excellent attention to detail.

Comfortable being off trail in often difficult terrain.

Desired: Experience with a compass.

Experience with survey plans.

Experience with ArcMap.

Experience with Salesforce.

Hours required: ~30 hours per property over several months

Duration: Must be willing to commit to at least one full year of service. Year-round

Location: In the field throughout SVT service area, Wolbach Farm, and potentially remote.

Reports to: Conservation Restriction Manager or Director of Land Management

Training provided: Training will be provided on how to use a compass, read a survey plan, procedure to create baseline report, creating simple maps in ArcMap (GIS), and entering data in Salesforce database.

Other notes: Volunteer will conduct both the field and office work. The timing of the work will depend on the timing of the closing of a land protection project. We typically have several months to draft the document so work can be spread out as long as the deadline is met.
