Job Description
Join the team at Cross Creeks NWR to help us with conservation needs on the ground! Located on a this 9,000 acre conservation area along the Cumberland River, we offer a peaceful serene setting filled with wildlife encounters. This refuge is located near multiple other public lands to explore during your off hours. Bring your fishing poles, bikes, kayaks, and hiking boots for more adventures on the refuge and also nearby!
We have two covered RV pads, with full hookups, propane, and laundry facilities in exchange for 24 hours of work per week. A work vehicle, equipment and PPE for duties are all provided. Any previous federal equipment or ATV training is desirable, but not mandatory.
Duties vary with volunteer experience, but include mowing, weed eating, painting, light construction, staining, landscape maintenance, picking up trash, installing/maintenance of signs, trail maintenance and other grounds/facility maintenance.
Duties may also include working the reception desk for the visitor center. (Currently our visitor center is closed, but we hope to resume normal functions in the future. So, all these duties are contingent on our visitor center being open.)
