Lassen National Forest: Seasonal Hiring
Lassen National Forest announces seasonal hiring for upcoming recreation season
Susanville, CA,. The Lassen National Forest is hiring seasonal employees for the upcoming recreation season and is encouraging local residents to apply.
“Our seasonal employees are the backbone of summer operations—keeping our campgrounds, trails, and recreation sites open, safe and welcoming for visitors,” said Forest Supervisor Rick Hopson. “These positions offer meaningful work, hands-on experience, and the chance to support public lands close to home.”
The Lassen National Forest is recruiting for a variety of roles, including:
• Recreation and visitor services
• Trail and facility maintenance
• Active resource management
These positions are in addition to seasonal fire hire events, already underway. Bringing on seasonal employees will help improve trails, campgrounds and facilities for safer, reliable and enjoyable recreation experiences for all. They will increase our capacity to provide public access and active forest management on the Lassen National Forest.
“Seasonal jobs can be a first step into a natural resources career, a way to build experience, or simply a chance to spend the summer working outside,” added Hopson. “We encourage anyone interested to apply.”
People interested in applying will need to establish accounts on USAJobs.gov, and prepare a resume that meets requirements. USAJOBS has a page dedicated to helping answer questions. Potential applicants must be 18 years old by their first day of work.
