The Upland Game Bird Habitat Specialist is an opportunity to work with a team of conservation professionals and partnering landowners to implement on-the ground habitat enhancements to benefit upland game bird and other wildlife, as well as the recreating public. The position is located in Northeast Montana within an area that holds some of the most productive upland game bird habitat in the state, interspersed with small towns that offer basic medical and basic shopping facilities. These communities represent excellent hometown values and affordable housing. Outdoor recreational opportunities abound with excellent upland and waterfowl hunting, birding, big game hunting, hiking, and fishing.

The specialist is primarily responsible for implementing FWP's Upland Game Bird Enhancement Program (UGBEP) in Northeast Montana (FWP Region 6) through working with landowners, conservation partners, sportspersons, and FWP personnel in promoting, locating, evaluating, designing, coordinating, and monitoring upland game bird habitat enhancement and conservation projects on private and public lands. When and where appropriate, wetland habitat enhancement, long-term conservation projects and releasing pen-raised pheasants, and game bird surveys will be included in the specialist's work.
