<strong><span style="font-family:"Georgia",serif">VALLEJO, Calif., October 18, 2023
</span></strong><span style="font-family:"Georgia",serif">— The USDA Forest Service is accepting applications for permanent seasonal jobs between October 19 and November 22. There are hundreds of entry-level permanent seasonal
forestry technician and forestry aid positions available in exciting and rewarding locations across the nation, including 307 positions in California.<u></u><u></u></span></p>
<p style="margin-right:.5in;margin-bottom:0in;margin-left:.5in;line-height:115%">
<span style="font-family:"Georgia",serif">The Forest Service manages over 193 million acres of the nation’s forests and grasslands, and the jobs are as diverse as the landscapes it manages. Forestry aids and technicians work
in a variety of natural resource and recreation functions and can make a difference by helping to reduce the threat of wildfires, improve habitats for wildlife, decrease the spread of invasive plant species, enhance visitor experiences, and so much more. These
positions are ideal for individuals who are dedicated, hardworking, and committed to protecting and preserving the nation's forests and natural resources.<u></u><u></u></span></p>
<p style="margin-right:.5in;margin-bottom:0in;margin-left:.5in;line-height:115%">
<span style="font-family:"Georgia",serif">Seasonal employment is a great way to begin a lifelong career with the Forest Service and make an impact on managing these landscapes for future generations. Permanent seasonal positions
offer a 13/13 schedule, which means employees work 13 pay periods (6 months) and have the remaining 13 pay periods (6 months) off. These positions have career status and may be increased to 18/8 (18 pay periods of work, 8 pay periods off) or a full 26 pay
periods of work based on unit needs and funding.<u></u><u></u></span></p>
<p style="margin-right:.5in;margin-bottom:0in;margin-left:.5in;line-height:115%">
<span style="font-family:"Georgia",serif">Positions will be open to the public and available in various locations throughout the country. Applications will be accepted on USAJOBS, and interested candidates are encouraged to
