[PCA] JOB: BLM Utah

[Pilmanis, Adrienne]

Hello All,

I anticipate that the person chosen for this job will have opportunities to
get involved with significant Greater Sage Grouse habitat treatments as
well at the Great Basin Native Plant Program.  BLM UT has strong
relationships with Red Butte Botanic Garden and several universities in the
state, not to mention local branches of federal agencies.  I would love to
see someone sharp, energetic and dynamic in this position!
