The U.S. Forest Service is Seeking Employees for the Rocky Mountain Region

The U.S. Forest Service is planning to hire more than 600 temporary employees for the Rocky Mountain Region, which includes positions at 17 national forests and seven national grasslands throughout Colorado, Kansas, Nebraska, South Dakota and Wyoming.

The Forest Service will also be looking to fill administrative support and engineering positions.
