Metro is hiring for a Nature Educator for Parks and Nature

Metro’s Nature Education team is seeking two nature educators to lead and coordinate programming that serves over 10,000 participants annually and inspires long-lasting relationships with nature and the use of Metro’s parks and natural areas.

Metro’s Parks and Nature department engages the public with programs designed to be culturally relevant, responsive and respect multiple ways of knowing. We strive to empower participants to further their own relationships with the land and rivers of the Pacific Northwest. Our programs include, but are not limited to, field trips for elementary schools, community-based organizations and other groups, and public programming for individuals and families.

The Nature Education team consists of a manager, supervisor, team lead, nature educators, seasonal nature educators, and an admin. The nature educators are often outdoors working across Metro’s system of parks and natural areas with seasonal nature educators to deliver participant-driven programming. Nature educators will coordinate and lead programming which advances agency-wide education initiatives and goals to audiences of all ages. Nature educators will be expected to be flexible, meet participants where they are at and allow the group to drive how the program is led.
