Invasive Species Education + Outreach Assistant – EKISC
As the Invasive Species Education + Outreach Assistant, you will be “boots-on-the ground” as the face of the East Kootenay Invasive Species Council. This position is primarily focused on education and outreach, with a portion of responsibilities dedicated to supporting EKISC’s communications efforts. Working under the direction of the Education and Outreach Manager, and in collaboration with the Communications Manager, you will help deliver engaging, accurate, and accessible invasive species education across the Regional District of East Kootenay (RDEK). From hosting community weed pulls to delivering plant identification courses and invasive species workshops, most of your work will be spent outdoors and interacting directly with the public. You will travel throughout the region to support outreach booths, guided invasive species walks, school and community programs, and special events. You will also have opportunities to work alongside the field team when support is needed with monitoring and surveying activities.
