Nyiyaparli Ranger Program - Expression of Interest

Nyiyaparli Rangers are looking for more casual rangers to join the team!

What are Nyiyaparli Rangers and what do they do?

The Nyiyaparli Ranger Program employs casual project-based rangers who work together to undertake land management activities on Country.

Fortescue Marsh is the focus area for the Ranger Program. We work closely with DBCA and Roy Hill Station to jointly manage Fortescue Marsh.

Current projects include:

Vegetation surveys (ground and drone surveys)
Water monitoring and fish sampling
Camera trap and song meter setting
2ha sign plots (animal track surveys)
Fire management (prescribed burning with DBCA)
Weed management
Kids on Country (Junior Rangers)
Cert II in Conservation & Ecosystem Management training

What are we looking for:

You work well in a team
You show respect for your fellow team members, staff and our partners
You enjoy camping out on country for up to 5 days at a time
You help with team camp duties such as unpacking and setting up camp and meal preparation.
You can commit to multiple trips a year during the field season from April to October (up to 20 trips per year)
You enjoy working outside (it can be hot, lots of dirt and dust, flies)
You can commit to attend training as required (approx 2-3 training weeks per year)
You can commit to attend planning workshops or team meetings as required

A driver’s license is highly desirable but not essential.
