Today is the last day to apply for many 2021 summer seasonal positions on the Umpqua National Forest! You can apply online at www.USAJobs.gov. Applications close at 11:59pm EST.

One great resource for searching for future positions with the U.S. Forest Service is the Forest Service Outreach Database, which you can visit at www.fsoutreach.gdcii.com. Forest Service hiring managers post outreach notices here to alert the public about job announcements that will soon be posted on USAJobs. These outreach notices contain more detailed information about the position and National Forest you are applying to. They also often contain contact information for hiring managers so you can reach out and express your interest. This is an excellent resource if you're considering a career with the Forest Service.

Do you like working outside? Are you dedicated to serving your community and protecting your natural environment? Do you look at this picture and think, "Now that looks cool"?

If you answered yes to any of these questions, you should apply to work on the Umpqua National Forest next summer! The U.S. Forest Service is hiring for many temporary summer positions. You could spend your summer building and clearing trails, like the Forest Service employees pictured here constructing the Oregon Skyline Trail past Mt. Thielsen a century ago. But that's just one possibility. Positions are available in fire, visitor services, timber, recreation, engineering, natural resources, and archeology. You can apply online on USAJobs.gov through November 9, 2020.
