Volunteering
Volunteers are the heartbeat of the Forest Service and the Idaho Panhandle National Forests.
The types of work a volunteer can perform are many and varied, from cutting out trails and building bridges to campground hosts and interpretive services. We like to match talents and skills with your work preference to obtain a role that satisfies you and best fulfills the mission of the USDA Forest Service. There are opportunities to work on a one time, part-time or fulltime basis, as well as year-round. The commitment you make is up to you. Training and housing may be provided to you if your job requires it.
Our Bonners Ferry Ranger District is looking for volunteers this year for a variety of positions and special projects from trail maintenance to campground hosts.
Our Heritage Program is looking for volunteers to help with various projects including historic preservation of lookouts and campgrounds, archaeological inventories, historic and archaeological site monitoring, records and photo research.
