-----------------------------------------------------------------
Welcome to the Great Outdoors! We offer a variety of employment opportunities
(both paid and unpaid) ranging from student programs to volunteer programs,
and full time employment for men and women with skills in several hundred
areas. It's all here, starting with who we are and what we do.
For almost a century, since 1905, USDA Forest Service employees have
been on the front line of conservation, intelligent resource utilization,
and wildland management. Today, there is more excitement, greater challenge,
and more career variety than ever before available to people who join
the Nation's premier forest management agency. Managing 51 thousand square
miles of the most magnificent lands in our nation is a great responsibility.
Managing it in ways that are most effective for the land, water, air,
wildlife, and people of America is our mission.
The USDA Forest Service is constantly moving forward. Our fundamental
responsibility is still sound and scientific focus on stewardship and
sustainability of the land, water and communities, but how that is delivered
to the public is changing. Exciting advances in science and technology,
communications, national and global priorities, and public expectations
are opening new vistas for Forest Service employees.
Much of our work today involves collaboration with other Federal and
State agencies, local communities, private and tribal landowners, university
research centers, and international organizations.
We are a nationwide organization of more than 30,000 people engaged in
hundreds of specific occupations, including Foresters, Biologists, Engineers,
Teachers, Firefighters, Accountants, Computer Specialists, Law Enforcement,
Public Affairs Specialists, Recreation Specialists, Geographic Information
Specialists, and more. Most Forest Service employees focus on managing
and improving our Nation's forests and grasslands. Some employees focus
on Forest and Range research, others focus on human resource development
in Job Corps Centers, and others focus on state and private forestry coordination.
This may sound simple, but it's not. It takes men and women in several
hundred disciplines working in coordinated teamwork nationwide.
To keep our employees at the top of their profession, we provide world-class
training supported by the latest technologies. Career development is ensured
through continuing training and career-related education opportunities,
both within our organization and through external educational institutions.
