Ready to become part of our conservation district?

We're looking for passionate people who want to make conservation exciting, accessible, and community-focused. If you light up when talking about the environment and believe everyday people have incredible power to create positive change, we want to meet you.

Why work at Missaukee Conservation District?

Your passion matters as much as your training

We've created a space where a former Spanish teacher and former business professional work alongside botanists and soil scientists. We believe authentic enthusiasm creates better programming and makes people genuinely excited to come to work each day.

You'll have the freedom to pursue what excites you

Our staff genuinely light up when talking about conservation - whether it's mushrooms, soil erosion, or native plants. We give you the freedom to pursue what excites you because passion is contagious and makes people want to be part of what we're doing.

You're joining an award-winning team

You'll join our six-person collaborative team where every team member serves as the go-to expert for their specialty while supporting each other's growth. We were recognized as Michigan's top conservation district in 2024 because of how well we work together.
