Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from A Job With the Forest Service: A Guide to Nonprofessional Employment
The Forest Service realizes the importance of being responsive and alert to the changing needs of a dynamic society. Sensitivity to prob lems and ?exibility in solving them are basic to successful leadership in the preservation of our natural environment.2. I Am Not a Professional Forester. What Kind of Work Can I Find in the Forest Service?
The Forest Service needs a competent staff of technicians, aides, skilled workers, clerical personnel, and laborers to assist management in all phases of its work.
Since many National Forests are in mountainous country which becomes snow-covered and inaccessible in the winter, much of the nonprofessional type work must be done during the other three sea sons. Tree planting work is usually done in the spring or fall. Fire control work is largely confined to the fire season, the period of greatest fire danger. In the western States, this is during the summer, and in the eastern States, early spring and late fall.
During the summer months, the nonprofession al staff also works on ?ood control, disease and insect control, brush disposal, timber stand improvement, and construction and maintenance of roads, trails, campgrounds, sanitation facilities, and other buildings.
