Full Job Description

Position Summary

The Restoration Accelerator is a new program by Native Plant Trust and its partners to increase the availability of locally adapted seeds from sustainably managed sources. The Restoration Accelerator program currently has two main goals: first, to build a regional seed partnership to better serve the region's needs by using standards, protocols, and best practices for seed increase, collection, and storage. The second goal is to establish a seed bank of wild-collected species for use in creating seed increase plots. This position will support the achievement of the Restoration Accelerator's second goal. All harvested wild seed will be processed and stored in the seed bank at Nasami Farm Nursery, intended for use in restoration projects and by nurseries to grow plants for sale. Native Plant Trust will manage the Restoration Accelerator program, the seed bank, and seed-related facilities at Nasami Farm Nursery.

The Seed Collection Technician will be based at our Nasami Farm Nursery in Whately, MA, and will report to the director of Horticulture. This position requires travel to natural areas in Massachusetts, New Hampshire, and Vermont to collect wild seeds. Target taxa lists will be developed with Native Plant Trust Horticulture and Conservation staff and consultants. The Seed Collection Technician, in collaboration with Native Plant Trust staff and consultants, will be responsible for planning and implementing visits to scout for and collect seeds, following established protocols for sustainable seed collection. This position will also assist with the handling, cleaning, and storage of wild-collected seeds and any seeds harvested through seed increase.

This is a non-exempt, hourly, full-time (40 hours/week), seasonal position, lasting six months. Max compensation is $22,500 (based on a $20.83 hourly rate). The work schedule is Monday–Friday, 8am-4pm. Please expect some flexibility with daily start and end times as determined with the Director of Horticulture. This position will accrue sick time per the MA Sick Time Law and is covered by Workers' Compensation insurance if injured at work. This position is not eligible for vacation or floating holiday time or for organization-offered benefits. Expense reimbursement for travel is available.
