The City of Houston Parks and Recreation Department‘s Natural Resources Management Program is seeking Natural Resources Technicians. Natural Resource Technicians participate in field work at habitat restoration sites, as well as native plant propagation work at the HPARD greenhouse and tree farm. Habitat restoration tasks include invasive species removal, tree planting, mulching, herbicide application, watering, and working with volunteers. Plant propagation tasks include seed collection, weeding, bumping plants up, and greenhouse facility maintenance. There are permanent and seasonal positions available.
The Natural Resources Management Program oversees all natural areas with the City of Houston’s 380 public parks. The program manages five prairie restoration sites, and is currently implementing HPARD’s riparian restoration initiative. In this initiative, they are targeting all parks adjacent to waterways for reforestation and habitat enhancement.
Preferred candidates have demonstrated interest in habitat restoration and natural resources, a positive attitude, and ability to work on a team. Please contact Cassidy.Kempf@houstontx.gov if interested in applying.
