The SBFC Wilderness Ranger Fellowship (WRF) program provides an immersive experience in Wilderness Trails conservation and management through hands-on stewardship. This 14 week position runs from 5/13/2024-8/16/2024.
Upon arrival on May 13th, WRF’s will receive three weeks of training led by SBFC staff and professional Forest Service Wilderness & Trails managers. Training topics may
include all of the following (with WFA and crosscut certification being mandatory):
Following training, for five hitches, from early June until mid-August, WRF’s will typically operate on the hitch schedule of 80+ hours. This means you will work 8 consecutive days, living and working in the backcountry, followed by 6 days off. Hitches primarily consist of performing a variety of different trail maintenance needs, and at times, backcountry campsite inventories and SPUR monitoring. Crews will vary in size from 4-12+ people depending on the needs of the project. Crews will be led by an SBFC Wilderness Trails Crew Leader and/or a United States Forest Service Wilderness Trails Technician. Being predominantly in Wilderness, trail maintenance will be performed using traditional tools such as hand saws, loppers, ax’s, pulaskis and crosscut saws. The physical requirements of living and volunteering in such large Wilderness complexes are arduous. Many days will require backpacking with tools (60+ lb packs at the start of some hitches) 10+ miles, and performing physically strenuous activities all day such as pulling saws, swinging axes at trees or pulaskis at dirt, and moving large boulders, trees and dirt from the trail.
