The Northern Rhode Island Conservation District works in partnership with private land owners, farmers, municipalities, state and federal agencies, as well as non-governmental agencies. NRICD is not a regulatory or enforcement agency, but rather provides assistance to those who desire to work as a team to face issues -- watershed by watershed.
We are hiring an Education and Outreach Assistant.
Applications close April 20, 2026.
To apply for this position, email your resume and cover letter to Molly Allard, District Manager, at mallard.nricd@gmail.com.

Join us for our Hope Pond Stewardship Workshop series, where we'll learn the impacts daily life has on our communal water supply, and the solutions to the problems we see already. This event series is open to the public, and completely free!
Hope Pond lies in the Scituate Reservoir Watershed, connecting to the reservoir by the Pawtuxet River. It has a picnic area, fishing spots, and is a local kayaking hotspot. Boaters and fishers also use Hope Pond as a starting point to go down the Pawtuxet River, which starts from the reservoir just north of the Hope Pond recreation area. You'll be given take home materials and talk to the experts themselves. We're having three, so if you can't make one, join us for another! See you then!
