Conservation Legacy

There are some good times, working with them, they help out; give advice; help you repair for work and out on the file as well. Some time you have to stay focused and takes notes in a meeting, so that's way some on the team is taking notes, and others ask bit more questions; how it can work in the field, it's mostly been preparing for tools and what kind work we well be doing?
Other co-workers may have a different idea of how to work, or how it can move bit faster, but how I see is that's, if we can come together, get our notes, tool's, and focused the task that's it's front of us, we can make the work flow and complete the work; just a head of schedule.
I find ways to understand the workers, take notes, and looking around to place tools and where it goes, most of all, try to be open to co-workers and customers as well too. 

I really loved working with Conservation Legacy. The folks there were really friendly and accommodating when I needed help. In my short time with them, I learned a ton of new skills and got certified in many different technical skills that I had never had the chance to get certified in before.

Even when I was injured on the job (tweaked my back doing some lifting) I was well taken care of and given proper consideration. Plus the insurance was pretty great!

I'd say the only downsides were the slightly low income (I was in Arizona and rent/living can get pricey) and the schedule which didn't really leave me free for holidays (which didn't bother me that much to be honest)

Overall, a good nonprofit to work at.  Lots of dedicated staff who are invested in the programs. Unfortunately, the compensation is very poor (although benefits and PTO are pretty good).  This is a good org to get some experience at and spend a lot of time outside working on cool projects. Very high turnover- would assume mostly due to pay.  

I've learned extremely valuable soft skills and have the opportunity to apply my personal expertise to numerous projects. This role has also given me a better understanding of small government and grant processes. I highly recommend Conservation Legacy to anyone wanting to improve communities and environmental health. 

Everyone at the organization seems to really enjoy and care about the work they do. However, the pay is very low and staff often feel overworked and stressed. The organization cares a lot about company culture as a whole, but could stand to appreciate employees more on the individual level. 

While working with Conservation Legacy I learned to manage and work along with a team from a great distance. The supervision I received was appropriate for the tasks I was assigned. I most enjoyed working directly with my team members and learning how I could better serve them.

Overall Conservation Legacy is good to work for. I was contracted for a year and while my position was not very concrete many people really enjoyed it here. The organizational culture is great if your into conservation and the outdoor life.

Pros: Happy co workers, try to keep it fun, good work life balance
Cons: Pay rate, clicky, limited advancement

Projects and project partners were great. Crew leaders not vetted well for position but program director and training crews were qualified and fun to work with. Shifty season and not ideal year to begin working with them but did see potential. 

They’ve taught me a lot, but under new leadership the program really fell apart. Inconsistent and a lot of hypocrisy. If you’re looking for a short term job, it might work for you. Pay was decent, very laborious and hard work.
