Summer Stream Survey Positions

The Aquatic and Riparian Effectiveness Monitoring Program (AREMP) tracks trends in watershed condition over time, and reports on the Forest Service’s Northwest Forest Plan and the Bureau of Land Management’s Western Oregon Resource Management Plan. Every summer we hire field crews to travel all over the Pacific Northwest from Northern Washington to Northern California to collect stream habitat data. Why work for AREMP? • Gain valuable on the ground field experience in a variety of stream survey methods over a broad diversity of stream types. The survey involves camping in crews of three of four while day hiking (small percentage of sites accessed via backpacking) and bushwhacking (hiking with no trails) through steep forested terrain. The survey involves collecting macroinvertebrates, measuring stream substrate, bankfull width, large wood, pools, and water chemistry. • We provide all employees with a wide range of training activities including: stream survey techniques, Wilderness First Aid, and CPR. • A work schedule with 6 days off between each 8-day work period allows plenty of time to get out and see new things or just rest, relax and recuperate.
