2024 Fall Crew Members

Projects & Schedule

Field projects may be backcountry (hiking into the project site, camping away from a vehicle) or front country (such as driving to the project site daily, camping at the vehicle, or non-camping lodging). Projects may be urban (located in a city or town) or rural (located in national parks, forests, etc. with limited access to facilities and resources). Weather is variable, and work and campsites can range from 2,000-13,000 feet in elevation.

Projects may include (but are not limited to):

• Trail construction and maintenance
• Invasive species management, including herbicide application and chainsaw operation
• Habitat restoration
• Fence installation/repair
• Land management inventory and mapping
• Community service
• Recreation facilities maintenance and construction
• Recreation signage repair
• National disaster response efforts

Crews generally work a 9-day or 4-day, 10-hour/day (some days may be up to 12 hours) ‘hitch’ schedule, while camping in front and backcountry settings. Typically, crews will have 3-5 days off between hitches. Days will include two 15-minute breaks and one 30-minute lunch (the 30-minute lunch break does not count toward term of service hours). Crews should expect schedules and project work to vary.
