Job Title: Wilderness Trail Crew Leader
Job Description: Wilderness Trail Crew Leader
Wage: $20-$23 DOE
Sierra Institute for Community and Environment (Sierra Institute) in collaboration with Lassen National Forest (LNF) is hiring one Crew Leader for a unique opportunity to lead a Wilderness Trail Crew in advancing forest restoration and improvement of backcountry recreation infrastructure within designated national forest and wilderness areas of the LNF. Qualified individuals with an interest in trail work, wilderness management, and the active management of ecosystem services are encouraged to apply. The Wilderness Trail Crew, consisting of a Crew Leader and five Crew Members, will spend the season performing a variety of trail maintenance projects in Wilderness and non-wilderness areas of the LNF Almanor Ranger District. Work will include tread and drainage, brushing, log outs, and hazard tree removal. Work will be completed using hand tools, crosscut saws, and chainsaws. Work schedule will be four ten hour days with three days off or eight ten hour days with six days off based on project requirements. The Crew may also assist as necessary with other activities to advance landscape restoration in the region.
The Wilderness Trail Crew Leader will work under the direction of Sierra Institute support staff and Forest Service project partners to carry out various trail maintenance and restoration activities within the Almanor Ranger District of the LNF. The position will work cooperatively to re-establish and maintain access to designated trails in order to increase accessibility to public lands within the LNF including diverse wilderness landscapes. One of the primary project areas is the Ishi Wilderness; a 41,000 acre Wilderness area composed of rugged river canyons dotted with basaltic outcroppings, caves, and unique pillar lava formations. In all work, the Wilderness Trail Crew will be expected to work collaboratively to complete project goals while also mitigating risks that may arise.
