Crews will be composed of 5-7 high school-aged members conducting work related to Natural Resources and Outdoor Recreation in some of the most beautiful places in Southern Utah. Crews are located in Cedar City, Panguitch, Escalante and St. George.
Not only is this a paid hourly job, but all participants will learn about the natural environment and management of the Dixie National Forest while participating in hands-on projects and educational field trips throughout the summer.
Crews will work on watershed restoration, trail clearing, recreation site maintenance and fence building projects across the Dixie National Forest.
