Join the team at Tennessee National Wildlife Refuge to help us with conservation needs on the ground! Located on a beautiful bay of Kentucky Lake, we offer a peaceful serene setting filled with wildlife encounters. This refuge is located near multiple other public lands to explore during your off days. Bring your fishing poles, bikes, kayaks, and hiking boots for more adventures on the refuge and also nearby!
We exchange a large covered RV pad, with full hookups, propane, laundry facilities and wifi for 24 hours of work per week. A work vehicle, equipment and PPE for duties are all provided. Any previous federal equipment or ATV training is desirable, but not mandatory.
Just a quick tidbit of information about TN NWR, it is a 51,000 acre conservation area made up of a wide variety of habitats that attract migratory birds following the Mississippi Flyway. The main focus of this refuge is to provide a stopover site that supplies food and sanctuary to wintering waterfowl during their migration seasons.

Mission Statement
Working with others to conserve, protect and enhance fish, wildlife and plants and their habitats for the continuing benefit of the American people.
Description
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is the premier government agency dedicated to the conservation, protection, and enhancement of fish, wildlife and plants, and their habitats. We are the only agency in the federal government whose primary responsibility is the conservation and management of these important natural resources for the American public.
The agency includes both the National Wildlife Refuge System and the National Fish Hatchery System.
The Service's origins date back to 1871 when Congress established the U.S. Fish Commission to study the decrease in the nation’s food fishes and recommend ways to reverse that decline. (More on our history below.) Today, we are a diverse and largely decentralized organization, employing about 8,000 dedicated professionals working out of facilities across the country.
