Deschutes & Ochoco National Forests
Crooked River National Grassland

Experience the beautiful scenery of Central Oregon first-hand while working in a seasonal temporary position for the Deschutes or Ochoco National Forests . Most of the positions offered are field-going, but many also include office work involving maps, computer data entry, or planning and supervisory functions. In your off-hours, you may be enticed to fish the Deschutes and Metolius Rivers which support ten species of game fish, or the North Fork of the Crooked River . Central Oregon is home to the largest downhill ski area in the Pacific Northwest , Mt. Bachelor . It also hosts one of the finest examples of obsidian flow in the world and is internationally known for the largest variety of volcanic formations in the lower 48 states. The Deschutes N.F. has 1,388 miles of trails, including nearly 60 miles of the Pacific Crest National Scenic Trail. If you are from Rhode Island you will experience what it is like to work on a National Forest that is twice as large as your State: the Deschutes N.F. is nearly 1,600,000 acres of public lands. The Ochoco National Forest and the Crooked River National Grassland cover a combined 962,000 acres. Work locations are predominantly on Ranger Districts, but a few are located in the Supervisor's Office (Headquarters), or at the Redmond Air Center.
