The Maine Coast Heritage Trust is seeking candidates

A team of two Marshall Island Stewards (two,
short-term, full-time positions, CANDIDATES MUST APPLY AS A TEAM)
The stewards will live and work as a team on Marshall Island, a 1000-acre
undeveloped, mainly forested island off the Maine coast. Marshall Island
is located about seven miles southeast of Stonington, nine miles southwest
of Mount Desert Island, and one mile south of Swans Island. The island
is owned and conserved by Maine Coast Heritage Trust and is used by
local people and folks cruising the coast for picnicking, hiking and
exploring. There is currently an 8 mile trail network which will be
expanded by 3 miles this summer. We will also be adding up to 3 public
campsites in 2008. The areas around a resident pair of nesting bald
eagles and a private 10 acre lease area are off-limits to the public.
The stewards will camp in tents provided by MCHT and are responsible
for maintaining trails, monitoring and recording public use patterns,
studying roosting and feeding patterns of the eagles and other wildlife,
assisting with trail and campsite maintenance, setting up biological
monitoring protocols, providing visitors with information about Maine
Coast Heritage Trust and the island’s cultural and natural history,
maintaining communication with the local community, and ensuring that
visitors respect preserve guidelines and the private leased areas. The
stewards will also be responsible for maintenance and operation of an
18’ motorboat and must be experienced with boat handling. The
stewards have to be self-reliant, able to live in isolated/primitive
conditions, and must enjoy communicating with a variety of people. Familiarity
with Maine coastal flora, fauna and culture, the ability to collect
data, and experience with equipment maintenance are important and helpful
skills for the stewards. Stewards ideally would spend 5 days on the
island followed by 2 days off the island and weekends must be spent
on the island.
SPECIFIC TASKS:
(1) Ensure preserve use guidelines are respected and the island's natural
features are undisturbed.
(2) Maintain signs, trails, campsites, interpretive materials, and other
structures and equipment for visitor use.
(3) Monitor use of the island, greet visitors when appropriate, respond
to questions, and offer information about the island's cultural and
natural history and the Maine Coast Heritage Trust.

and for monitoring pubic use impacts. Assist in collecting data for
ongoing scientific studies, if applicable.

(8) Report to the Regional Steward on a daily basis throughout the summer,
and submit a summary report about seasonal activities, events and conditions

LIVING CONDITIONS:
Housing will consist of tents. Cooking facilities will be simple. There
is no running water and drinking water is hauled from the mainland.

Island.
