Job Description: Position Summary Bridgeport, CT is known as the Park City for its many public parks. Pleasure Beach, Seaside Park, and Beardsley Park are the largest and in addition to providing opportunities for city residents to enjoy the outdoors, are vital to birds. Pleasure Beach is a nesting site for the federally threatened Piping Plover and the state threatened Least Tern, as well as four CT state listed plant species. Beardsley Park provides important migratory songbird stopover habitat and Seaside Park provides resting and foraging opportunities to migrating waterbirds. Sandy Point Beach & Bird Sanctuary in West Haven, CT is one of the most significant mainland nesting areas in the state for Piping Plover and Least Tern, and the state threatened American Oystercatcher. It is a popular site amongst anglers and local residents looking for a beautiful walk along the shore. To ensure that these birds have the opportunity to nest successfully, rest, and refuel during migration, Audubon Connecticut, in partnership with the cities of Bridgeport and West Haven, created the WildLife Guards Program. The program trains, mentors, and employs crews of eight local high school students to monitor nesting shorebirds, restore habitat, and engage visitors, families, and friends about the parks and their wildlife. This is a seasonal, full-time position (30-hrs/week) starting June 17th and going through August 23rd. Note: Audubon staff will provide two weeks of paid training to crew leaders at the beginning of the WildLife Guards program. Compensation: $18.00 / hour Additional Job Description Essential Functions The WildLife Guard Crew Leaders, through training and supervision of high schools students participating in Audubon's youth programs, will assist conservation scientists with the monitoring and stewardship of critical shoreline habitat. Crew Leader duties include:
