Three Lakes Wildlife Management Area
Volunteer
Job Description
The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission is seeking volunteers to volunteer at the Three Lakes Wildlife Management Area in Kenansville, FL for the 2024-2025 hunting season. Volunteer operators are needed at our hunter check station starting September 14, 2024 and until April 20, 2025, in exchange for a beautiful free RV site.
We are located in central Florida, in Osceola Co. just south of Orlando, and approximately 15 miles south of Holopaw along Highway 441. Nearby towns include St. Cloud (~25 miles), Kissimmee (~35 miles), Orlando (~50 miles), and Melbourne (~50 miles). We are within an hour’s drive of Disney World, Universal Studios, theme parks, and beaches!
There are five full hook-up RV sites with electricity, sewer, and water. The area is remote, so if you enjoy the outdoors, a rural lifestyle, and outdoor recreation such as hunting and fishing, you will probably be well-suited for this position. We also offer a “clubhouse” for volunteers, which has a refrigerator, stove, restrooms, and laundry facilities.
Volunteers’ primary duties will be to monitor recreational use on the Management Area, provide information to the public, and collect biological data. This includes keeping count of hunters and other recreational users, checking various licenses and permits, providing information to hunters and recreational users, and collecting biological data from harvested animals. No previous experience is necessary, and training will be provided by staff biologists. However, if hunting is objectionable to you, or if you are reluctant to handle harvested animals, then you should not apply. In addition to volunteering at the check station, volunteers may assist with facility maintenance, data entry, and other tasks as needed.
In exchange for full hookups and use of facilities, we request a maximum of 32 hours volunteered each week. Days of the week volunteered are somewhat flexible.
