UC ANR operates a statewide network of researchers and educators dedicated to the development and application of knowledge to address local agricultural, environmental and health issues. Over 150 UC ANR UCCE advisors conduct research, outreach and education from locally based CE offices serving all 58 counties from 70+ locations throughout the state. By working and living among those we serve, UC ANR expands the University of California's reach to engage all people and communities in California, ensuring equal access to the UC system. Location Headquarters : UCCE Mendocino County, Ukiah, CA. Purpose . The Area Water Quality, Quantity and Climate Change Advisor will implement an innovative extension education and applied research program to address issues related to water quality, quantity, and climate change in the North Coast Regional area. The Area Water Quality, Quantity and Climate Change position will focus on the impacts of climate change (intensifying droughts, floods, wildfire, and extreme events) on water supply and quality. The advisor will work with agricultural and natural resource producers as well as local government water agencies and water districts. Targeted program focus include one or several of the following: 1) maintain and diversify local water supplies that reduce reliance on any one water supply (springs and well systems, recycled water, or water harvesting); 2) protect and enhance natural ecosystems that sustain fish, wildlife, and crop and animal agriculture; 3) build connections with local government water agencies, water districts, indigenous tribes and integrate water management through shared use of science, data and technology; and 4) identify and develop viable options to meet the requirements of the Sustainable Groundwater Management Act, and other local, state and regional policy issues.

For more information about ACE, please visit: www.usaconservation.org .   Start Date: February 6, 2023 (some flexibility may be available) Estimated   End Date: July 14, 2023 * a 28-week minimum commitment is required *   Location Details/Description: John Muir National Historic Site, Martinez, CA. The site is the home and fruit ranch once owned and managed by naturalist John Muir and is characterized by three separate park units: a 9 acres fruit orchard and ornamental garden site (House Unit); 350 acres of oak woodland and grassland (Mount Wanda Unit); 1 acre gravesite and orchard (Gravesite Unit). In addition to work at the John Muir NHS Members will also be engaged with the landscape at another park site located 20 miles away in the town of Danville, the Eugene O'Neill NHS, characterized by 15 acres of orchards and ornamental gardens. For more information about Martinez or the John Muir NHS please visit: https://www.nps.gov/jomu/index.htm   Position Overview: The John Muir NHS maintains approximately 370 acres of landscape, in addition to 15 acres of orchards and cultivated landscape at our other park, Eugene O'Neill NHS. This position is necessary for our park to maintain the orchards, gardens, trees, shrubs and other landscape features to the quality and level expected by the public and the two park units. Currently the park does not have staffing to provide this level of service to the landscape and this position will meet and exceed that need, with supervision and guidance from the park Horticulturist/Arborist. This position will entail a variety of landscape duties from basic gardening and cultural landscaping tasks (pruning, watering, weeding, mulching). Natural resource work may include removal of invasive weeds like thistle, threatened and endangered species monitoring, or native tree and plant monitoring. Day-to-day work will involve working primarily outside in a variety of weather conditions, though the timeframe of this position should be mostly warm to hot especially in summer. Work and tasks associated with this position may require the use of various landscaping hand tools such as pruners, loppers, rakes, shovels, hand saws, ladders, leaf blowers, lawnmowers, weed whackers, hedgers, fertilizer spreaders, (but no chainsaws). Power tools such as drills, screw guns, sanders, may also be required (but no chainsaw use at all). Use of ladders may also be necessary and proper ladder use/training will be provided. For any IPM (integrated pest management) work the Member may need to set traps or hand pull weeds, but any use of baits or chemicals will only be done under close supervision by the park IPM coordinator. The park philosophy towards toxic chemicals is to limit or avoid their use whenever possible in favor of mechanical or other means of pest management. The ACE Member will likely work in a team of two but will also engage as much as possible with other divisions at the park including Maintenance, Natural Resources, Cultural Resources, Interpretation, and also park volunteers and Youth Conservation Corp members. To the degree possible, Members will be invited to engage with other parks in the Bay Area NPS network if time and opportunity allows. If the Member has time, interest, and initiative to take on special projects that interest them, and if such a project also aligns with park objectives, this would be supported by their supervisor. "Special projects" associated with these cross discipline opportunities could consist of either academic research into garden or landscape history of the sites or practical application of new plants or methods of landscape maintenance particularly as we are faced with maintaining the historic character of our cultural landscapes and plant palettes in the face of a warming and drying climate. This individual placement is meant to facilitate professional development and promotes exposure to land management agencies and networking with professionals. This could include gaining experience in different conservation fields and shadowing different work groups.
