Wilderness Trail Crew (Crew Leader, Crew Member, Crew Apprentice), Sierra Institute for Community and Environment

Sierra Institute for Community and Environment (Sierra Institute) in collaboration with Lassen National Forest is hiring six candidates to serve as Crew Members for a unique opportunity to contribute to forest restoration and improvement of backcountry recreation infrastructure within designated national forest and wilderness areas of the LNF. Qualified individuals with an interest in wilderness management, trail work and the active management of ecosystem services are encouraged to apply. The Wilderness Trail Crew, consisting of a Crew Leader, four Crew Members and a Crew Member Apprentice, will spend the season performing a variety of trail maintenance projects in wilderness and non-wilderness areas of the LNF Almanor Ranger District. Work will include benching of trails, maintenance of water bars, brush clearing and clearing of downed logs and hazard trees. Work will primarily be completed using hand tools and non-mechanized equipment such as crosscut saws. The Crew may also assist as necessary other activities to advance landscape restoration in the region.
