The Bureau of Land Management, (BLM) Upper Willamette Field Office seeks an experienced, enthusiastic host or host couple to join our team at Shotgun Creek Recreation Site! Shotgun Creek is a popular year-round day-use area boasting numerous recreation opportunities, such as hiking, picnicking, shelter rentals, sport fields, and a seasonal swimming area. Visitors also enjoy easy access to the 34-mile Shotgun OHV trail system just north of the recreation site.
Host volunteers assist BLM staff to open and close the site each day, manage shelter reservations, answer visitor questions, encourage visitor rule adherence, and maintain the site. The selected volunteer(s) must have strong interpersonal and customer service skills, as visitor interactions occur daily. Volunteers are also required to perform maintenance duties, such as landscaping (weed-eating, mowing, leaf blowing) and cleaning (restrooms, litter collection, etc.) Based on these physical duties, volunteers must be able and willing to walk up to 5 miles per day and lift up to 25 pounds. Site-based training is provided by BLM staff upon entry on duty.
One RV site with full hook-ups (electric, sewer, water) is provided for lodging. Volunteers also have access to high-speed internet service via Starlink.
This position is a minimum 6-month commitment with the opportunity for an extension to year-round service.

Mission Statement
The Bureau of Land Management's mission is to sustain the health, diversity, and productivity of public lands for the use and enjoyment of present and future generations.
Description
The BLM manages 245 million acres of public lands and 700 million acres of mineral estate. These public lands and subsurface acres are integral to the lives and livelihoods of communities and families across the country. We promote multiple-use on public lands to maximize opportunities for commercial, recreational, and conservation activities. This promotes healthy and productive public lands that create jobs in local communities while supporting traditional land uses such as responsible energy development, timber harvesting, grazing, and recreation, including hunting and fishing.
