Csfs durango field office intern

The Colorado State Forest Service (CSFS) is a service and outreach agency of the Warner College of Natural Resources (WCNR). The CSFS provides technical forestry assistance, wildfire mitigation expertise, and outreach and education to help landowners and communities achieve their forest management goals. Our mission is to achieve stewardship of Colorado’s diverse forest environments for the benefit of present and future generations. The Colorado State Forest Service partnered with the Warner College of Natural Resources at Colorado State University (CSU) in 2018 to develop the CSFS Internship Program that offers paid summer internships to undergraduate students. Intern positions provide students with in-depth learning and work experiences in natural resources. Internships include a 15-85% split between training for the student and hourly work for the CSFS. Student interns prepare 2 written documents throughout their internship period to advance professional writing skills and encourage self-reflection. They also receive one-on-one mentoring and evaluations from their CSFS supervisor(s). A small professional development stipend will be made available to support costs/fees associated with trainings, workshops, conferences, and other applicable opportunities during the internship period. A housing stipend will be offered to interns to mitigate the cost of living in Colorado. The position title of this internship is CSFS Durango Field Office Intern. This intern will be based out of the Durango Field Office in the CSFS Southwest Area and is directly supervised by Josh Braun (Forester). The Durango Field Office is one of 18 field offices at the CSFS and is staffed by four full-time foresters, a Supervisory Forester, a statewide marketing & utilization forester, four inventory foresters responsible for conducting the Forest Inventory and Analysis Program in southwestern Colorado, and an administrative assistant. The Durango Field Office services 5 counties in SW Colorado including La Plata, Archuleta, Montezuma, Dolores, and San Juan Counties. We are seeking student interns who are professional, self-directed, innovative, and energetic. Of special interest are applicants that demonstrate a capacity to learn new skills, think critically, and serve as effective team members.
