WHITEBARK FIELD MARKETING FELLOW

🌳 About the Organization

Adventure Scientists is a nonprofit organization on a mission to protect the planet by pairing scientists with individuals uniquely capable of gathering difficult-to-obtain data. Our team collaborates with scientists worldwide to solve pressing environmental challenges, from biodiversity to climate change. Every role here offers a chance to make an impact on a global scale!

🙋‍♀️ About the Role

We're looking for a Whitebark Pine Field Marketing Fellow to help us document and protect one of North America’s most iconic and threatened alpine tree species. This seasonal, low-commitment role blends mountain adventure, creativity, and conservation, perfect for someone already skiing, hiking, or exploring the Pacific Northwest this winter who wants to support science in a meaningful way.

You’ll collect field data on whitebark pine trees while capturing photos, reels, and stories that spark public awareness and action. We’re not seeking full-time staff, we’re looking for someone who’s already out there enjoying wild places and would be excited to get paid a stipend to turn those trips into something bigger.

You’ll be supported throughout by our Project Manager and receive a brand toolkit with all the guidance you need.

💼 Responsibilities

• Collect observational data on whitebark pine while doing what you already love - ski touring, mountaineering, winter hiking, or splitboarding in alpine terrain.
• Participate in at least 5 field days per month (flexible timing, based on your schedule and weather conditions)
• Capture and deliver weekly content (5–10 photos, 1 short video/reel, and 1 social media draft post)
• Attend 2–3 local events during the season to represent Adventure Scientists (we’ll cover any entry fees)
• Act as a brand ambassador: post flyers, engage local outdoor shops and partners, and meet potential volunteers
• Share positive environmental messages in person and online
• Submit deliverables on time and aligned with our content guidelines (we’ll provide a toolkit)

🎯 Skills & Requirements

• Expertise in content creation (with a professional camera or great quality camera phone) and storytelling through photography and short-form video.
• Based in or able to spend at least 5 days/month in mountainous areas of Oregon and/or Washington between November 2025 and February 2026.
• Passion for alpine ecosystems, forests, and climate resilience.
• Confidence being on camera and engaging with people in person.
• Ability to work independently in field conditions.
• Stable internet connection for uploading files

💪 Extra Awesome Qualities

• Knowledge of whitebark pine ecology or alpine environments
• Previous involvement in conservation, forestry, or science communication
• Avalanche safety awareness or wilderness first aid training

🌎 Location

Field-based in Oregon or Washington mountain regions, with remote reporting.

💎 Compensation

$2,000 in total for the duration of the contract (November 2025 – February 2026)
