The Riparian Stewardship Coordinator, under the supervision of MRWCC and Cows and Fish staff will meet with landowners/managers to coordinate work at project sites, conduct baseline riparian health, plan BMP
implementation, and monitor impacts of project initiatives. The project will also include monitoring and research of tributary sites and the influence they have on mainstem fish habitat availability and quality for small-bodied fish and may include fish sampling and/or water quality monitoring. The candidate will be required to assist in project budgeting, as well as draft, interim and final project reports to partners and funders. The Riparian
