Helene Restoration Division

The Wildlife Resources Commission (WRC) is charged by General Statute 113-132 with the management, regulation, protection, and conservation of wildlife resources and inland fisheries in North Carolina. In the wake of Hurricane Helene, western North Carolina’s forests, watersheds, and wildlife habitats sustained significant ecological damage. In response, NCWRC has established a 10-year time-limited division to lead a comprehensive, multi-year effort focused on ecological stabilization, species recovery, and long-term resilience. This division is responsible for the implementation of ecological restoration and infrastructure recovery across aquatic species, terrestrial species, habitat, genetics, infrastructure, and invasive species programs in close coordination with the U.S. Forest Service (USFS) and other partners.

The Aquatic Species Supervisor is an administrative and supervisory position responsible for supervising staff monitoring and restoring aquatic species. The position is administratively responsible for eight permanent, full-time employees, including the direct supervision of four Conservation Biologist I and four Wildlife Conservation Technician I positions that make up the Aquatic Species Team.

This position is HOME-BASED. The workstation for this position is in the employee’s home-based office using an agency-provided computer. The employee in this position is expected to provide home office space compliant with WRC and State policies.
