Joint Base Lewis-McChord (formerly Fort Lewis and McChord Air Force Base) is
seeking volunteers to assist with the management of their purple martin and
western bluebird nest box programs. Work can be on McChord Field and/or
Lewis-Main. Work would occur intermittently from approximately April
through September. Work would entail installing nest boxes, monitoring
nesting progress and submitting informal yearly reports. Bird banding is a
possibility, if volunteer(s) is properly trained and permitted.
Volunteer(s) would be welcome to attend appropriate species work group
meetings. Volunteers would be required to use their own vehicles, but there
is a possibility of mileage reimbursement for travel on base, if a grant is
obtained. Due to military security issues only U.S. citizens or Nationals
should apply. A background check is required. Having base access is a
plus. Contact Valerie Elliott, Natural Resource Planner, JBLM, McChord
Field, at 253-982-6216 or <mailto:valerie.elliott at mcchord.af.mil>
valerie.elliott at mcchord.af.mil, for additional information and to apply.
Please apply promptly.
