An ideal applicant should be flexible and adaptive to changing conditions and challenges in the field. The ability to work effectively within a team-oriented environment is essential for success in this position, as collaboration and communication are key to achieving our conservation goals. If you are passionate about forest management, conservation, and ecosystem restoration and have the qualifications we seek, we encourage you to apply.
Primary Duties:
  • Perform and oversee timber inventory/cruising, marking, and layout for appraisals, timber sales, and USFS Common Stand Exams (CSEs). 
  • Provide administrative oversight to contractors (timber sales, hand crews, road work, site preparations)

  • Assist in identifying and developing the scope for stewardship and conservation projects on the Chequamegon Nicolet National Forest and other projects which occur across various land ownerships and land uses. 
  • Assist biologists in various management activities associated with Threatened and Endangered species.
  • Flexibility to travel (sometimes extended or frequent) to other parts of the US to assist foresters and biologists in the completion of their projects, cross-training skill development, and information exchanges within a team-oriented group.  
  • Ensure accurate records and reports.

Qualifications:
  • Bachelor's degree or higher in forestry and/or wildlife science from an accredited university is preferred.
  • Minimum 3 years of practical forestry experience is preferred.

  • Best Management Practices (BMP) compliance oversight.
  • Assessing potential environmental impacts of a harvest and identifying/addressing forest management challenges.
  • Demonstrated knowledge and experience with the flora, fauna, and forested ecosystems of the Midwest, is required. 
  • Preference will be given to applicants with demonstrated experience with technical writings such as NEPA reporting, biological diversity reports, or environmental impact assessments.
  • Applicants must be self-motivated, responsible, and have the ability to solve problems. The position requires excellent organizational skills, the capability to work independently with little direct supervision, networking and communication skills, and project management experience.
  • Applicant must have a valid driver's license and experience using and operating common forestry field equipment and ATVs.  
  • Candidates must be able to work in challenging field conditions, including workable hard weather conditions, insects, wildlife, and dense brush.
