Show Notes
National forests across the U.S. are resuming hiring for seasonal workers, with up to two thousand non-fire temporary positions available. The Forest Service plans to fill these roles in recreation, timber, and other areas, following a hiring freeze ordered by the Biden administration last fall. The hiring varies by forest, with the Okanogan-Wenatchee National Forest in Washington adding fifty-one positions, mostly for recreation. The Colville, Umatilla, and Idaho Panhandle forests are also hiring for various tasks. Most roles are forestry technicians, covering campground upkeep, visitor education, timber mapping, and boundary marking. Trail groups welcome the move but emphasize the need for sustained funding and more staff for long-term maintenance.
