Happy Equinox, all! I hope you are feeling in balance. Here in DC, we had a very warm weekend and all the cherry blossoms and magnolias and pear trees are blooming. It has been a real pleasure seeing how much interest there is in our American Bird Conservancy Conservation and Justice Fellowships! I wanted to take a few minutes to answer some of the most common questions and snags: 1. The fellowships are all remote. We do not hire fellows as staff because the work is project-based, under 10 hours a week, and flexible based on project needs. Because of this, you do not need to be based in the United States. 2. However, there are a few projects that have a strong preference for candidates based in a certain geography. Those are real preferences because we want community engagement fellows who can work directly and in person with people in those specific places. 3. Please rank up to three projects in order of preference. Project hosts will be sorting candidates based on that ranking. 4. We use the same platform for hiring the fellows that we use for full time positions and internships. Some of you seemed to have problems uploading letters of recommendation or personal statements. However, you should be able to upload multiple files - we realize these are not the standard cover letters. While we strongly prefer applications through the platform, you can email us if you had problems. 5. Please take your time! You might not want to wait until the last day or hour (please don't), but there is no advantage in rushing. Please do make sure you complete all parts of the application. 6. We mention a survey in addition to the screening questions, but that needs to be anonymous, so we will be send it to all applicants once we are past the deadline. 7. Do continue to reach out via email with questions - contact me or the project hosts and do not hesitate to send a second email if you have not heard back. I was away for a few weeks and am still catching up on responses. Apologies for the delay. 8. We trust you to submit your letter of recommendation as an attachment to your application - we do not need people to write directly to us as they might for a college application. Letters can be informal and need to be from someone who knows you, your work, and your aspirations well and can write in detail about all of that (a professor, colleague, supervisor, best friend, family member, mentor, etc.). Letters do need to include contact information so we can reach out directly to that person if we select you as a finalist. Wishing you all luck!

As we do each day, this Earth Day River Partners celebrates the power of restored rivers and floodplains in creating a thriving future for California’s environment and people.   We’ve done it for 25 years and plan to do it for another 25 years and beyond. This Earth Day, we’re reflecting on our and our partners’ accomplishments and looking toward the future. During our 25-year history, we’ve: · Restored nearly 20,000 acres of habitat along over 200 miles of rivers statewide—more than anyone else in the West · Planted more than 4 million native trees and plants that benefit struggling species, California’s climate resilience, freshwater supplies, and more · Supported the recovery of nearly 60 imperiled species like the monarch butterfly and the Riparian brush rabbit · Conserved over 10 billion gallons of freshwater for wildlife, farming, and households · Capture 1 million tons of carbon in riverside forests to grow the state’s climate resilience using nature-based solutions · Channeled over $175 million in restoration dollars back into the California communities where we work · Increased flood safety for vulnerable California communities facing increased flooding threats · Build the next generation of conservation leaders through our paid internship program A thriving future for the Golden State depends on healthy rivers—and River Partners is TAKING ACTION EVERY DAY to revive critical river landscapes throughout the state at a pace and scale that makes a difference for California’s future. Happy Earth Day!

Hard work, setting goals, and bringing value to those around us are the cornerstones of a fulfilling career and life. Working in vegetation management has embodied these values for me, providing a unique perspective quite literally from atop a 100-foot tall pine. This vantage point is not just my office view; it's a daily reminder of the resilience and strength required to maintain the balance of our ecosystems. Each day is about more than just managing vegetation; it's about setting clear, achievable goals and working diligently to meet them, ensuring safety and sustainability for communities and natural habitats alike. This industry has sharpened my focus and fortified my purpose, allowing me to contribute positively to the world while standing firmly at the intersection of human progress and environmental stewardship. This job isn't just a career; it's a daily climb towards making a tangible difference. See you at the top. - Anthony
