Forest Stewardship Crew Member

Wallowa Resources, a non-profit organization based in Enterprise, Oregon, is pleased to offer three seasonal “Forest Stewardship Crew positions.” The program aims to provide a seasonal job and workforce training opportunity for individuals wanting to gain more experience in the natural resources and forestry fields. This job is open to all - whether you are coming out of high school or mid-career. Spend your spring, summer, and fall outside while gaining valuable experience and making a difference in the community. Crew members will have opportunities to work across the diverse ecosystems and forests of the Northern Blue Mountains Region (Northeast Oregon and Southeast Washington) to support forest restoration as part of regional landscape restoration and stewardship initiatives. Specifically, the crew members will work on a three-person team under a crew lead. They will gain experience and training in various forestry and natural resource tasks, including unit layout and data collection for fuel reduction projects, timber sales, and other natural resource restoration efforts designed to promote healthy forests and watersheds. The crew may work on other projects to support restoration/stewardship work, such as trail work, invasive plant monitoring and treatment, natural resources surveys, and other stewardship field tasks. While most of the work will be located in Wallowa County, travel will be required to support forest stewardship projects.
