The Great Lakes Conservation Corps (GLCC) is hiring at least 24 seasonal employees for the 2020 summer field season. GLCC is a program that is administered by the Superior Watershed Partnership (SWP), which is located in Marquette, MI. GLCC crews will be working on projects that are primarily located in the Upper Peninsula (UP) of Michigan, with some projects extending regionally. Crews are a team of four young adults who gain experience in a wide range of conservation and natural resource management projects. Crew Leaders and Crew Members partner with various project managers (state, tribal, federal and local partners) who specialize in botany, soils, recreation, forestry and wildlife. GLCC project examples include:
• coastal resiliency • trail construction

Additionally, GLCC is hiring 2 crews to complete a Lake Huron dam inventory using a drone and ArcGIS.
