Urban & Community Forestry Crew Member
 
 
 
Help create robust urban forests that reduce air pollution and greenhouse gas emissions and improve public health and well-being. Northwest Youth Corps is seeking young people aged 19-26 interested in a jobs-training and educational opportunity, working outdoors while making a positive impact on our urban forests. Work completed by this crew will go on to help the development of the urban tree canopy in areas deemed underserved by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). Urban and Community Forestry (UCF) crew members will work with 4 other members and 1 crew leader to complete urban forest health projects for the duration of the program throughout the local area. Experienced field staff provide training and education on urban forestry projects such as tree planting and maintenance, wildfire protection, invasive plant management, and tree surveying. Training and education will be provided for all projects by field staff. The work is physical and rigorous. Crews work in all weather and terrain and use a variety of hand and power tools in primarily urban areas. A key focus is building leadership and cooperation within the team. Prior experience is not necessary, and all training is provided, but maturity, teamwork, and openness to new challenges are vital.

Member Duties : Crew Members will be part of a four-person crew led by one staff member. Crew Members are responsible for the safe completion of assigned projects promptly to predetermined specifications under the direction of their Crew Leader. They work closely with program staff and other participants, paying specific attention to safe workplace practices, proper tool use, work quality, and efficiency. Participants will work on high priority conservation projects for land management partners like the Forest Service, BLM, and Bureau of Reclamation. Some crews may be focused on the construction of bridges and kiosks, while others focus on the restoration of at-risk landscapes and watersheds. Other projects may include fuels reduction or GIS mapping and surveys.
