Short description:
Virginia Working Landscapes (VWL), a program of the Smithsonian’s National Zoo and Conservation Biology Institute (NZCBI), was launched in 2010 in collaboration with community partners to combine the science of the Smithsonian with deep-rooted local expertise to collectively study, inform, facilitate, and inspire conservation management on working landscapes in Virginia. VWL combines a scientific approach with education, citizen science, and community outreach to maximize conservation outcomes. Our collaborative efforts give us the tools to understand, sustain, and maintain native biodiversity on working lands.
VWL is currently seeking a highly motivated individual to support community outreach and fundraising activities throughout our 16-county working region. The position will be based out of the Front Royal campus of Smithsonian’s National Zoo and Conservation Biology Institute in Warren County, VA. As part of the VWL team, the selected applicant will have opportunities to engage with a dynamic network of Smithsonian centers, partnering scientists, donors, local conservation professionals, landowners, producers, and community volunteers. As such, this role will require a unique individual equipped with strong interpersonal skills, fundraising experience, and a passion for conservation storytelling.
