Beaver Watershed Alliance (BWA) is seeking a videographer/video editor to help us grow our YouTube channel and tell the story of watershed protection in a clear, engaging way.

Occasional filming may be requested, but this role is largely post-production and storytelling.
About Beaver Watershed Alliance
Beaver Watershed Alliance is a nonprofit organization dedicated to proactively protecting, enhancing, and sustaining water quality in Beaver Lake and the integrity of its watershed. The Alliance works collaboratively with landowners, producers, agencies, researchers, and community partners to advance voluntary, science-based conservation practices on working lands.
As a science-based organization, we develop innovative, on-the-ground solutions and engage multiple communities to address local challenges in watershed management in the Northwest Arkansas region.

Our work is guided by the Beaver Lake Watershed Protection Strategy, a US EPA accepted plan. Our values are centered on a commitment to sustainable, high-quality water supplies, diversity and respect for all people, communities, and cultures and serving the Northwest Arkansas region to the best of our ability.
