*JOIN US! *

Come join a growing team of conservation professionals at the Xerces
Society who are dedicated to protecting some of the world’s most important
animals. We are seeking a motivated expert who can support farmers,
ranchers and NRCS conservation planners in the conservation of monarch
butterflies in the Central Coast region of California.

At Xerces, we harness the knowledge of scientists and the enthusiasm of the
public to implement conservation programs. We take action by helping farms
and public agencies develop conservation plans for pollinators and
beneficial insects, producing ground-breaking publications on insect
conservation, training thousands of farmers and land managers to protect
and manage habitat for beneficial insects, protecting endangered species
and their habitat, and engaging the public to raise awareness about
invertebrates found on farms, forests, prairies, deserts, streams,
wetlands, towns and cities. Our methods focus on habitat conservation
planning, education, scientific analysis, advocacy, and applied research to
conserve invertebrates, such as bees, butterflies, mollusks, and fireflies.



*WHAT YOU’LL BE DOING: *

Reporting to the Xerces Society Senior Pollinator Conservation Specialist
(California Region), and in collaboration with the USDA Natural Resources
Conservation Service (NRCS), the *California Monarch Butterfly Conservation
Planner *will provide conservation planning, technical support and training
to farmers, ranchers, NRCS field office planners and partners with a focus
on California’s Central Coast and Coastal Foothill regions. Conservation
work will focus on the planting or management of breeding habitat for
monarch butterflies, as well as other pollinators and beneficial insects
that help control crop pests. This position will conduct outreach to
diverse communities of agricultural land managers and conservation partners
to raise awareness about opportunities to receive financial and technical
assistance for monarch conservation on working

lands. The ideal candidate will have experience with Farm Bill conservation
programs, will have strong outreach experience, and will be able to develop
farm- or ranch-specific conservation planning guidance that addresses
multiple goals of monarch butterfly, pollinator, beneficial insect,
wildlife, soil, and water conservation.
