Rogue River Watershed Green Team: Looking for High School Students for Summer 2020!
Trout Unlimited is hiring high school students to join their Green Team this summer! Desired applicants should live, go to school, work, or worship in the Rogue River watershed. If you are interested in applying for the 2020 Green Team, please contact Jamie Vaughan at jvaughan@tu.org. Applications will be accepted until April 13, 2020.
The Rogue River watershed is one of Trout Unlimited’s Home Rivers Initiatives, which are multi-year collaborative integrated watershed restoration projects. Local foundations and other donors have contributed funds towards the Rogue River Home Rivers Initiative project. This project focuses on restoration actions and education to improve existing river conditions, working with local governments to improve municipal planning, and increasing capacity to help ensure advocates for long-term protection of the Rogue.
To help achieve their goals, they will be conducting their Green Team program this summer (June/July 2020). They are looking to hire high school students with roots in the Rogue River watershed (home or school). Their summer Green Team crew will learn about native Michigan habitats and watershed ecology as they work on rain gardens and stream buffers in areas throughout the watershed. Green Team members will learn the ins and outs of propagating native plants, which we use in our restoration projects, and they will gain valuable job and research experience working alongside Trout Unlimited staff.
