ORGANIZATION: U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service

Located in northeastern North Dakota, White Horse Hill National Game Preserve (NGP) offers a unique blend of three habitats including woodlands, prairie, and wetlands. Visitors enjoy the opportunities to see bison, elk, and prairie dogs among numerous other species of mammals and birds that are frequently seen in these habitats. Join our friendly visitor services staff in welcoming over 90,000 visitors per year. We are looking for 1-2 people to volunteers to occupy our full hook-up RV camper pad for a minimum of 3 months (June, July, August).


As the resident host, you provide orientation, interpretation, and answer visitor questions at the main information desk. You also cover topics regarding the refuge, local natural and cultural resources, safety precautions, rules and regulations, recreational opportunities, and area services. You will be asked to assist staff with operations and maintenance of facilities, including cleaning bathrooms, emptying trash containers, ensuring refuge is free of litter and other more complex maintenance and visitor facility projects within your abilities. Duties may also include mowing, trimming, and light duty trail maintenance.


Schedule is typically 4 days on and 3 days off. Day-to-day schedule varies. Couples may work the same days but may not have the same daily schedule. Hours requirements are 24 hours/week per resident for couples, and 32 hours/week for singles, depending on the site. Exact start and end dates are negotiable.

About U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service

Location:

5275 Leesburg Pike, MS: NWRS Visitor Services, Bailey’s Crossroads, VA 22041, US

Mission Statement

Working with others to conserve, protect and enhance fish, wildlife and plants and their habitats for the continuing benefit of the American people.

Description

The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is the premier government agency dedicated to the conservation, protection, and enhancement of fish, wildlife and plants, and their habitats. We are the only agency in the federal government whose primary responsibility is the conservation and management of these important natural resources for the American public.


The agency includes both the National Wildlife Refuge System and the National Fish Hatchery System.

The Service's origins date back to 1871 when Congress established the U.S. Fish Commission to study the decrease in the nation’s food fishes and recommend ways to reverse that decline. (More on our history below.) Today, we are a diverse and largely decentralized organization, employing about 8,000 dedicated professionals working out of facilities across the country.
