Position Description:
California has been devastated by historical mega-fires in recent years contributing to possible full-type conversion across the landscape. To restore forest resilience in these areas at a meaningful pace and scale, the reforestation community needs to rapidly increase seedling production. Successfully doing so includes cone surveying and collection, seed saving, seedling production, site preparation, out-planting, and monitoring. Current production levels are inadequate for the reforestation needs of private and public entities. American Forests is working to increase production on private and public lands through collaboration with the United States Forest Service Region 5 (USFS R5) and the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection (CALFIRE) through the Reforestation Pipeline Partnership (RPP) and the development of the California Cone Corps.
The USFS Region 5 Cone Corps Nursery Technician position will be based in Placerville, California at the USFS Placerville Nursery in the El Dorado National Forest. They will be expected to serve in person at the nursery, Monday through Friday, with hours varying depending on the season. Some weekend shifts may be required. Most days will be spent at the nursery where the Technician will be expected to stand, walk, or sit for long periods. This position does require lifting materials which may weigh up to 50 lbs. Office-based tasks will also be expected including record keeping, contract administration, attending meetings, writing reports, and emailing. At times, responsibilities may take place in a field setting.
