| Where’s the Water?
Visualizing NFF’s water initiatives within the Colorado River Basin and beyond |
|||||
| The Conservation Connect Water Fellow will focus on improving NFF’s visual communications and information related to water-related initiatives, including payment for watershed services projects, low-tech process-based restoration projects and water replenishment projects. The objective will be to define how NFF can display the breadth of project related activities using ArcGIS tools to enhance mapping and visual storytelling, with the output being displayed on the NFF website Watershed Services section (to be created). The fellow will support the development of the mapping product and populate it with the projects in the Colorado River Basin Low-Tech Process-Based Restoration (LTPBR) project portfolio. The output will underpin the redevelopment of the Watershed Services section of the NFF website, to which the fellow will also contribute in terms of general design ideas and other forms of digital content. Candidates should be familiar with ArcPro, StoryMapping and general concepts of storytelling, have a basic environmental background or interest, and possess strong interpersonal skills and attention to detail.
The majority of this fellowship will take place between May and November 2024 (flexible within this time frame). This position is remote, though fellows in the Colorado River Basin will have the opportunity to attend in-person meetings and events. |
