ORGANIZATION: USDA Forest Service
Please visit the new page to apply.
Join us in the spectacular Wallowa Mountains of northeast Oregon as a Volunteer Wilderness Ranger!
We are recruiting a 2-4-person crew that will work independently as well as alongside professional USFS Wilderness Rangers. Backcountry and wilderness trips may range from day hikes to 10-day overnight hitches. Volunteers will primarily work from a remote base camp in the Lakes Basin Management Area. We are looking for candidates with backcountry travel and camping experience who are capable of working on a crew and in a solo capacity. Our ideal candidates are self-reliant individuals eager to share their knowledge and passion for Wilderness as well as help with light trail maintenance and rehabilitation of illegal campsites.
This opportunity is available from Mid-May to Mid-September. A minimum of a 6-week commitment within this timeframe is required. Preference will be given to longer-term applicants.
Shared, bunkhouse-style housing may be available for the season. Reimbursements for food and incidental expenses may be available depending on funding availability. Uniforms and tools will be provided. Some camping equipment is available for loan, but volunteers should plan on supplying their own backpack, sturdy footwear, and other personal gear.
