FYI- Please forward this email to qualified applicants. 

The Aquatic and Riparian Effectiveness Monitoring Program (AREMP) is a
Service First project comprised of Bureau of Land Management and Forest
Service employees based in Corvallis, Oregon. AREMP determines present
watershed condition based on upslope, riparian, and in-channel attributes,
tracks trends in watershed condition over time, and reports on the Northwest
Forest Plan's (NWFP) effectiveness across the region. Every summer we hire
field crews to travel all over the Northwest Forest Plan Area (northern
California to the Washington/British Columbia border west of the Cascade
Mountains) to collect stream habitat and channel mapping, water quality,
macro-invertebrate, amphibian, and invasive species data.
