Carson National Forest Announces Seasonal Hiring for Upcoming Recreation Season

The Carson National Forest will be hiring seasonal employees for the upcoming recreation season and is encouraging local residents to apply. Applications will be posted later this month.

“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 James Duran. “These positions offer meaningful work, hands-on experience and the chance to support public lands close to home."

The Carson National Forest is recruiting for recreation and 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.

Duties will include working at developed recreation sites in the Valle Vidal, recently improved sites like Echo Amphitheater and popular trails like the South Boundary and the Continental Divide.

“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 Duran. “We encourage anyone interested to apply.”

Applicants can view open job announcements and submit applications through USAJOBS.gov beginning Feb. 20.
