We hope your virtual visit to the Savannah River Site, home of the USDA Forest Service-Savannah River (USFS-SR), will encourage you to learn about the benefits of our work, as well as employment opportunities with us! The Savannah River Site is not open to the public because it is a key U. S. Department of Energy (DOE) industrial complex that processes and stores nuclear materials in support of national defense and U.S. nuclear non-proliferation efforts.
We manage approximately 170,000 acres of natural resources at the United States Department of Energy´s (DOE) Savannah River Site (SRS). USFS-SR operates under an interagency agreement with DOE-Savannah River Operations Office and implements the SRS Natural Resources Management Plan for a variety of natural resources, including watershed protection and improvement, providing habitat for endangered animal and plant species with forest products as a result.
Although the Savannah River Site is not open to the public, the outcomes of our work benefit you in many ways. USFS-SR, a unit within the Southern Region of the United States Department of Agriculture Forest Service, shares the Forest Service mission to conserve the lands in partnership with the people we serve.
What we do introduces you to our work as a diverse team of about 75 employees, including the Forest Manager, the Deputy Forest Manager, and six Assistant Managers for Administration, Engineering and Environmental Services, Fire Management, Information and External Relations, Natural Resources, and Research.
