Blackbird Environmental LP

It’s a tough job, but someone has to do it! We’ve been spending the field season in the Peace River Valley conducting herptile monitoring, with our days filled with counting tadpoles, measuring frogs, wrangling snakes, and identifying egg masses. Suffice it to say, we’ve had our hands full! Pictured here are western toads, wood frogs, western terrestrial garter snakes, and a long-toed salamander, along with two types of egg masses: the long, string-like western toad egg mass and the round, blobby wood frog egg mass. Fieldwork like this offers a small glimpse into the biodiversity of the region and the importance of ongoing monitoring to better understand and support local ecosystems.

We’re growing our team at Blackbird and have a couple roles we’re excited about:                 🌿- Junior Environmental Professional                🦬 - Practice Lead – Wildlife Biology   We work on environmental and wildlife projects across the Peace Region, alongside clients, communities, and the land itself. We care a lot about doing solid work - good science, thoughtful judgement, and showing up with respect - and we’re looking for people who care about those things too.   If you’re early in your career and want hands-on field experience with strong mentorship, or if you’re a wildlife biologist ready to help guide and shape meaningful work in this region, we’d love to talk.   Postings are open until May 15.

✨ Women in STEM ✨ Behind great science are curious minds, determination, and a lot of incredible women.   At Blackbird, women make up over 85% of our team, and they play a leading role in the work we do every day. We’re proud to foster a work environment that uplifts and empowers women to continue making strides in environmental science.   Happy international women’s day!
