ABOUT SYRCL:
The South Yuba River Citizens League (SYRCL) is an environmental non-profit organization that has been a hub of community-based activism, education, and scientific research in the Yuba River watershed since 1983. As part of SYRCL’s Watershed Science Department, the Forest Health Program works to restore forests across the Yuba River watershed through planning and implementing forest restoration projects and facilitating both local and large-scale forest health collaboratives and partnerships. The Forest Health team works closely with other Watershed Science Department programs to build cross-boundary restoration projects with various stakeholders across the watershed. These collaborative projects include long-term water quality monitoring across the watershed, sensitive habitat restoration including meadow and aspen sites, and working with private forest landowners in restoring fire resiliency to the landscape.
POSITION SUMMARY:
The Forest Health Project Coordinator will support the development and implementation of watershed health monitoring for the North Yuba Landscape Resilience Project (NYLRP). This Project is part of the Forest Health Program within the Watershed Science Department. This position will support the North Yuba Project Manager by expanding SYRCL’s existing water quality monitoring efforts on the North Yuba through the evaluation of forest health treatment impacts on watershed health. This role will work to integrate SYRCL’s existing water quality and hydrologic data at various locations on the North Yuba with expanded sampling sites and newly developed protocols focused on riparian zone health. Data analysis will examine how forest treatments impact hydrology and riparian habitat. The selected candidate will play a central role in SYRCL’s representation on the NLYRP Multi-Party Monitoring Committee. There is a significant growth opportunity with this position.
This position will also contribute to field data collection for SYRCL’s aspen assessment and restoration projects across the watershed. They will support the Forest Health Project Manager in collecting baseline data, assessing priority aspen sites for restoration, and conducting resource surveys for the NEPA and CEQA environmental review process. This position may contribute to various other field work as needed, including headwaters and meadows surveys, and additional hydrologic monitoring.
This position will spend approximately 40% of the time on field data collection and field plot assessment, and 60% on office duties including data analysis, spatial analysis, report writing, contributing to and supporting the North Yuba Forest Partnership, researching and analyzing field protocol development, and supporting SYRCL’s broader Forest Health Program strategy.
This is a full-time hourly position. During the field season (approximately April – October) the Project Coordinator will primarily carry out fieldwork responsibilities, including long (up to 12-hour) field days, as well as occasional camping trips. Camping may occur in remote locations.

Some overtime hours are to be expected, generally during the spring-fall field season.
POSITION RESPONSIBILITIES:

This role will require significant time in researching and understanding hydrologic and riparian monitoring in forested systems, thorough understanding of GIS mapping and spatial analysis, and willingness to explore the project development process as SYRCL’s Forest Health team further engages with the NYLRP.
