For almost a century, since 1905, US 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 51,000 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.
