*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 skilled and collaborative *Pollinator and
Beneficial Insect Conservation Specialist* who will provide habitat
conservation planning, technical support and training for USDA Natural
Resource Conservation Service (NRCS) field office conservation planners and
partners, farmers, pasture managers, foresters, and other agricultural
producers in New Jersey, Pennsylvania, New York, and other Mid-Atlantic and
southern New England states.



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
(East Region)*, and in collaboration with the USDA Natural Resources
Conservation Service (NRCS), the *Mid-Atlantic Pollinator and Beneficial
Insect Conservation Planner* will provide conservation planning, technical
support and training to farmers, other agricultural producers, NRCS field
office planners, NRCS state office staff, and other regional conservation
partners with a focus on New Jersey, Pennsylvania, New York, and other
Mid-Atlantic and southern New England states.



Conservation work will focus on the planning, planting, or management of
habitat for pollinators, monarch butterflies, and beneficial insects that
help control crop pests. This position will help train diverse communities
of agricultural land managers and conservation partners about pollinator
and beneficial insect conservation on working lands, and help raise
awareness about opportunities to receive financial and technical
assistance. The ideal candidate will have experience with Farm Bill
conservation programs, will have strong teaching and outreach experience,
and will be able to develop farm-specific conservation planning guidance
that addresses multiple goals of pollinator, beneficial insect, monarch
butterfly, wildlife, soil, and water conservation.
