The National Wildlife Refuge Association seeks a full-time Regional Partnership Specialist to work in South Florida in collaboration with Arthur R. Marshall Loxahatchee National Wildlife Refuge’s Urban Program.
Since 2014, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service’s Urban Wildlife Conservation Program (UWCP) has invested in communicating the importance of wildlife conservation to urban audiences. As a nonprofit partner to the National Wildlife Refuge System, the National Wildlife Refuge Association works with urban wildlife refuges across the country to assist in community outreach, partnership development, communications, and fundraising efforts that build strong and resilient nature-based programs that serve urban communities beyond refuge borders.
The ultimate goal of the Urban Wildlife Conservation Program and the work of refuges like Loxahatchee is to create a connected conservation constituency and cultivate the next generation of conservationists and environmental leaders.
