Grassland loss is the single greatest conservation issue currently facing eastern North American biodiversity. Our precious Southeastern grasslands are nearly extinct, and the species that depend on them are fading fast. Many of our Southeastern grasslands that managed to persist through the past 200 years have disappeared in the past quarter-century. What will the next 25 years bring? As a conservation community, we are only now realizing how extensive our grasslands used to be. If we want to reverse the tide of grassland biodiversity loss, our response must be rapid and unparalleled in its magnitude. This immensely complex and ambitious challenge will take some of the brightest and most creative minds in American conservation and philanthropy to solve. Are you ready to join the Southeastern Grasslands Institute's team? With support from NFWF's America's Ecosystem Restoration Initiative, Austin Peay State University's Southeastern Grasslands Institute (SGI) is leading a major regional initiative, "Last Chance Grasslands," to stabilize and restore 2,500 acres of native grasslands in Central Tennessee. This is an all-hands-on-deck moment for conservation, and we're looking for two full-time Restoration Technicians to join us on the front lines of this work. As a technician, you'll be part of a dedicated restoration team working across both public and private lands to rebuild native ecosystems from the ground up. You'll get your boots dirty restoring remnant grasslands, applying prescribed fire, collecting seeds, removing invasive species, and helping launch one of the largest grassland recovery efforts in the eastern U.S.
