Each year, BLM Colorado hires approximately 200 employees to supplement our permanent workforce during the "field season." While the field season begins in mid-March with wildland fire season preparation and ends in mid-November with the end of hunting season, these temporary employees generally work three to six months, depending upon the job and employee's availability.
Temporary seasonals are hired to work in almost every program area of the Bureau:
- Cultural resources
- Land surveying
- Native and non-native plant species
- Range management
- Recreation and visitor assistance
- Watershed management
- Wildland fire and fuels management
- Wildlife management
