This training period closely mirrors key aspects of the field season, including hands-on project work and sometimes camping in a crew environment.
• Summer and Fall Field Seasons: Your primary responsibilities during the field season will entail focusing on the early season Conservation Corps chainsaw crew support such as additional training for approximately the first few weeks of each program session.

The position is the central hub for these responsibilities and will communicate with Program Directors, Program Managers, and Field Coordinators to address ongoing training and maintenance needs in the field.
