Summer Field assistant position
Flora of Castle and Castle Wildland Provincial Parks
- The University of Lethbridge Herbarium is involved in a project developed to provide detailed information about the flora of Castle and Castle Wildland Provincial Parks.

It is also part of an important wildlife corridor situated along the Rocky mountains, stretching from “Yellowstone to Yukon”.

- A love of the outdoors and hiking
- Good plant identification skills
- Excellent organizational and teamwork skills
- A willingness to put in long days during field work, including overnight stays at the Westcastle Field Station.
- A driver’s license and access to a vehicle
Applicants must be current full-time students who are returning to school in the fall of 2019.
