Description

Summary: Join a professional forest crew to perform thinning, limbing, chipping, and mastication, contributing to safer and healthier forests. Highlights: 1. Collaborative and experienced team applying effective work approaches 2. Opportunity to learn the latest methods of the trade 3. Contribute to forest health, fire reduction, and wildlife protection Forest workers sought to join a local, professional crew. $20. to $25. per hour, + 1 way travel time. Forestry jobs are available and will continue through the winter and into early summer. Chainsaw operators and slash handlers needed. We fall and limb trees, chip and masticate the branches (slash), generate a lot of firewood, and leave a safer and more open forest condition. This fall is the sweetest weather we have seen all season. Not hot. All levels of experience considered. Forest thinning reduces the chance of destructive fire, protects wildlife habitat and increases water supplies. Must live near and be able to travel to Taos or Chamisal, or be willing to camp, have a vehicle, a cell phone, sturdy outdoor clothes and a collaborative attitude. We employ an effective approach to the work, honed from 25 years of experience. We do it the easy way, and we have a good time. Bring your experience and learn the latest methods of the trade. We are going to thin our forests or we will likely lose them to catastrophic crown fire. This work will continue to increase in pace and scale across northern NM. Bring your best sobriety to a winning endeavor.
