I would suggest for the highschoolers, apply for the for the summer youth program. They do trail work , instill responsibilities and build team work skills. My boy did it , and was team leader his second year. You must live by a forest service maintenance facility.

Well said! Not like it use to be. I was with the USFS for twelve years and made it to a GS 11 step 10. I was with an enterprise program for ten years. I had to leave when even the enterprise program was beginning to implode with the rest of the USFS. (The enterprise program was designed, originally, to put competition into government). Overall, they are not backfilling positions and putting too much workload on the employees that are staying. The "use or lose" mentality of the funding and the inability to fire bad employees (easier to promote them somewhere else) is killing the agency and all government for that matter. Keep up the great vids! Love them!

@@fonz-ys6xu Hard to recruit college students especially when starting pay is low compared to other forestry related jobs...having little control over where you will work also has a negative effect. In my graduating class of Forestry majors, maybe 2 or 3 of 30 joined a federal agency. They sure didn't sell me on it, I only considered my state DNR for government work.

@argentummolonlabe Год назад

@@VoidOneGamer Very true! It is a job for love of the outdoors and not for money. You have to be willing to be paid almost nothing in order to get your foot in the door. I started as a term position and was told to get out by the time I was 30 if I did not have a permanent position. Took me 7 years to put myself through college with a BS in Forestry and Natural Resource Management so I didn't have much tie left for that count down. I don't regret getting in permanent though, great experience and eye opening in how the world works....and I got to build trail and teach others how in Alaska, Hawaii, Northwest, Southwest, Midwest and the South. State work is good and you'll get a great experience with that.

I am about to retire from the Forest Service and I found good and bad things there. I worked in an amazing ecosystem and got a lot of time outdoors. They have so many different jobs and specialties, good training programs, and good pay. However I found the Forest Service to be highly politicized, and highly regulated in that there is an approved way to do everything and you must follow that approved way or risk the Forest Service coming after you. Its a great environment if you just like to go with the flow, but if you have ideas of your own and are highly motivated I suggest a different path.

I started working for the USFS in 1987. I got hired during one of the worst fire years on the Klamath NF. It was a blast! I fought fire in the wilderness, worked as a hydrology field tech, the wildlife biology field tech, then a fish biologist. That was before everything was defunded by the GOP. Now everything is farmed out to private consultants. Sooooo, I became a private consultant! Now I make way more money and don't have to put up with all the bureaucracy.

@isaiahalegria168 Год назад

Hello sir. I just turned 20 and It has been my dream of providing services for my national forests here in Colorado. If private consulting is the most effective way to do that. May I ask how and/or what it means exactly to be a private consultant in layman's terms. I wish to specialize in Ecology, and wildlife conservation if that helps?

@georgehaydukeiii6396 Год назад

@@isaiahalegria168 I worked on and off for the USFS & BLM for over 20 years before I started working for private companies that were awarded Federal contracts. Working as a temp will get you a lot of experience and a good insight on how the system works. I paid attention and made all the connections I could. Back then things were a lot different. A young man with plenty of experience could get a job in the natural resources field pretty easily. Since then it's become a lot more competitive. Back in the late 1980's and early 90's, not nearly as many people were studying to get biology, botany, geology degrees etc..... Experience counted a lot more. Now there are a lot of young people with college degrees and it's become really competitive. In the late 1990's and early 2000's I had worked for several private companies doing fish & wildlife surveys. In about 2001, I wrote a few proposals and bid on some wildlife survey contracts. Because I knew many of the supervisors and administrators, I was able to write some pretty good proposals and got a few. Things have changed a lot since then and the whole business has become really political. Funding for many of these projects is dependent on which political party is in the Whitehouse. I think a young person trying to get into the field these days would have to get at least a four year biology degree, and then apply everywhere there's an opening. Otherwise you could work for a private consultant, but they don't pay much anymore. Sorry I don't have a better answer.

@FullPsycho Год назад

I did five seasons on a timber crew and one half season detailed to a hot shot crew. I learned a ton about forestry. The training was great. I would have kept at it, but I had the wrong degree to really move up. I loved the cross country hiking every day.

@SeanDahlman1 Год назад

I think it depends state by state and district by district. Fire, Nursery, Land Surveyors, Ecologists (Botany, Wildlife, Fish, etc...), Research, and Timber Crews get TONS of field work. Damn this year alone I slept more in my tent then my house. I do agree that the higher up you go the more bureaucratic it gets, which kills a lot of the core motivation you may have had when joining. I guess that is true for most jobs... but for GS 4-8 you would find yourself living outside or outside almost every day. As for culture, hard for me say. Each district and forest will have their own way of doing things. Most of my work is deep in forest isolation so I cannot complain. I have been working on the Idaho National Forests and for the Region 4 for 6 years now and so far I love being a public servant.

@SeanDahlman1 hello. I'm a 20 year old Colorado Native and I have always wanted to work in the forest that the Rocky Mountains provide us here in Colorado. I am also very interested in Ecology. Can u please provide me with insider info as far as what your day to day occupation consists of. And also if u have the knowledge, what exactly does an Ecologist look like in the USFS

@SeanDahlman1 Год назад

@@isaiahalegria168 Hey Isaiah! It depends on which focus you want. For ecology there are a bunch. Botany (this ranges from looking for rare/endangered plants, restoration work/research, old growth forest preservation, etc..) Botany is super wide in its application because plants are the ‘bottom’ of the energy tree. Therefore the job type can vary from state to state. My background is desert plants so my work is focused in Southern Idaho and Northern Nevada. Another job is Wildlife. My experience with wildlife is limited but it could be the most ‘hardcore’ next to Fisheries. Animals move so you have to gain a real intimate knowledge of tracks and environments where they like to hide and thrive. This field is also diverse with ecologists focused on game, birds and reptiles. Another job is fisheries. If you like getting wet and love fish this is your perfect job! These guys will hike miles upstream… any stream. To find Bull Trout. I did one week shadowing the fish crews and it was remote and intense. There is of course Forest Health, AKA Bug People. I do not know too much of this department but they are increasingly getting more important due to invasive insects from around the world. As for day to day work it can be summed up like this. Wake up Monday, get your gear and mission goals, and head out camping. Come back Thursday for data entry. Rinse and repeat from May-October. Winter is usually data season or if you are wildlife, you go looking for winter animals like Lynxes. A lot of entry level jobs are seasonal though, some people love that and some people don't. I personally enjoy it because I love to travel and do new things. My only advice is to get a fairly general undergrad degree, like Biology or Environmental Science. From there you can apply and bounce around through many departments until you find a focus you really like. From there I do recommend a graduate degree in that passion or getting a GIS Cert. During undergrad and grad I also recommend building your statistics skills as well as python. Data is getting huge and learning the program language of data can help you secure good job positions. Let me know if you have any more questions!

@dragonracer76 Год назад

Not sure if your experience was always fire or not but as a rec manager I can say that this isn't really true. Our rec folks spend every day in the field. Engineering and timber, ECT spend most their time in the field as well. Also fire culture is way different than other shops. I would highly encourage folks to try out different seasonal positions until they find which one floats their boat and work towards that goal. Keep in mind that some shops are more field oriented than others eg: GIS, lands, dispatch, NEPA specialists, ECT will doing office work for the most part where fire, recreation, timber, silverculture, weeds, biology, hydro, ECT spend a lot of time either doing field work at lower levels or doing surveys, planning, field trips with cooperators, supervising field crews, ect at mid to higher levels.

I’ve worked for the Forest Service for twelve years, primarily in trails/recreation. I think you should definitely work for the forest service. It’s a great agency and while it’s true there is a lot of bureaucracy these days, it’s still worth it. As a 19 year old, you will only be working in the field. I would say don’t focus on Fire. There are many departments: Rec, trails, biology-just hiking through the woods looking for goshawks, in some cases-timber, range, etc. It can be hard to get your foot in the door without any relevant experience, so I would urge you to consider working for a conservation corps (every state has at least one) for a season. You’ll be doing similar work and probably even be working directly with a land management agency such as the USFS, BLM, or NPS. Then when you apply to the FS, your new boss will look at your resume and say, oh wow, this kid knows how to run a saw, build fence, and has a summer of camping under his belt! Hired!

They blame it on smoldering roots but a big fire burns deep and it would just take time and some water to create enough heat to start a fire! If there's limestone in the area.

It's like the military. A lot of different types of personalities, a lot of different types of jobs and way of doing things. Timber guys don't jive with fire guys who don't jive with wildlife and on and on. If you plan on making a career out of it you'll need to figure out how to navigate all those different personalities without pissin the wrong people off. If you do your job well, are consistent and get along with people you'll be alright. Every district has its own personality, find the one you fit in best with. Be tight with your FMOs and AFMOs and always be available. If you can make all these things fit together you won't just find a career you'll find a lifestyle. Remember also there are thousands of municipal depts always looking for experienced ex-feds if the big 3 aren't working for you. I even have a buddy that ended up on a repel crew in Costa Rica. He's married down there now and loves life. Much like the military most people only spend between 2 to 5 yrs with the Feds anyway. If you're a good fit they will let you know and do what they can to keep you. They will groom you and get you qualed up. You'll know after your second year if you belong there or not.

The FS has always had logging contractors harvest timber on their lands. The entire reason the FS was founded was to sustainably manage forest resources. Timber harvest sequesters carbon, simulates rural economies, and provides secondary manufactures with timber products. Multiple uses management has grown the Forest Service's responsibilities. At the peak over 18 billion board feet were sustainably harvested from the FS lands, since the 80's that number has significantly decreased. They maybe harvest 2 billion board feet a year now. Some food for thought, you hardly see wild fires on private industrial land.

Sad that this is the case. Forests are not managed they are “managed.” Look at the forests on the Navajo and Apache reservations, THEY are managed!

Could you please do a video showing the best way to store chainsaws inside the shop? I put mine in the corner of the shop on the floor and there is always a huge puddle of oil after a day or so

I would support and encourage anyone wanting to try a career w/the USDA Especially if your ok with and or enjoy the outdoors and being alone at times. The muppets spouting antigovernment BS are just that muppets. Blaze your own path and see if its something you enjoy. If its something thats peaked your interest there’s a reason explore it and check it off your list in life. If your young and willing to travel the sky’s the limit for you.

So many forest service jobs anymore want some useless degree and will pay you less than minimum wage

Reading comments this service sounds like any government job, including the military! Good job in places that the local economy failed the ppl. Most conservatives work for the government. You know teachers, cops, sanitation, fixed roads, clean drinking water, you know the stuff everyone hates! Local jobs are great, flip burgers, farm hands, and the like. Your kids leave town to get to use the collage degree, then fall in with bad crowd 😂!

Fire and the Natural Resources department is COMPLETELY different. It's all about what you and the group you're in make it. I personally experience significant creative freedom in how I manage forests and that came from the trust I built. The only people who are in the office all the time are GS-11s and most of them choose that.
