Land Trust Job Board

The 2020 River Stewards will be supervised by HVA’s Conservation Projects Managers. The work will be almost entirely field based, as the Stewards travel among priority river access sites, with approximately 10% office work (data entry and cleaning). River Stewards will be based out of the office in Cornwall Bridge, CT. Each weekend, RIO River Stewards will travel as a team among the high-priority river access sites along Route 7 (Gaylordsville up to Falls Village, CT). While at the sites, Stewards will engage with site users, conducting informal outreach and ensuring that visitors are aware of the site rules (e.g., carry in, carry out). Stewards may also conduct interviews in order to collect data that will help us better understand how these sites are being used, and contribute to more effective outreach techniques and mitigation strategies (with a focus on reducing trash accumulation). (posted 1/22)
