National Park, Forest Service and Other Outdoor Jobs
Have you ever visited the verdant mountains of the Appalachians, marveled at the power of the geysers at Yellowstone National Park, or walked across a glacier in Alaska and wondered what it would be like to work in such a majestic setting? Well, look no further than JobMonkey's Great Outdoors section!
Here you'll find out all you'll ever need to know about working for the National Park Service, the Bureau of Land Management, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, private park concessionaire companies, and environmental organizations.
After reading through this material and applying to employers using our Job Center search service, you could find yourself leading a whitewater rafting expedition, taking tourists on a nature hike, or even fighting a forest fire, rather than flipping burgers at the local greasy spoon restaurant or working as a clerk in a dingy office somewhere. With the growing popularity of U.S. national parks and a decrease in the numbers of young people available to work for them, there is a big demand for new employees. And, since peak seasons for parks are traditionally during the summer, these are especially ideal jobs for college students looking for work between semesters.
