ACE is hiring four members for an invasive species strike team at Cabeza Prieta National Wildlife Refuge, an 860,000-acre Sonoran Desert refuge near Ajo in southwest Arizona that is mostly designated wilderness. Members survey for and hand-pull buffelgrass and stinknet, log treatments in ArcGIS Field Maps and Survey123, drive 4WD trucks on rough remote roads, and talk with visitors about native and invasive species. The term runs February 8 to April 30, 2027 with a 12-week minimum, usually Monday to Friday with occasional camping. Pay is a $600 weekly living allowance, and free Fish and Wildlife Service housing is provided for the term. You need to be comfortable hiking in heat on uneven ground, meet Public Land Corps eligibility and be 21 or older to drive. Applications go through the ACE EPIC portal at the posting link, which lists a closing date of November 7, 2026.
