Alberta Junior Forest Rangers
Not your normal summer job...
The Alberta Junior Forest Rangers is a seven week summer work experience program
that will expose you to the world of forestry and natural resource management and
sciences while working in the great outdoors!
Do you meet these requirements?
- full-time high school student
- between 16 and 18 years old
- looking for excitement, adventure and challenge
If so, this job will give you a chance to explore career options, to gain valuable
skills and to contribute to Alberta's forests.
No two days are ever the same...
Today you could be building hiking trails for public recreation – tomorrow, touring
the forest from the front seat of a helicopter. As a crew member you will participate
in hands-on work-projects, earn certifications though training and meet professionals
in the field.
Away from home or in your community...
Junior Forest Rangers live and work in the outdoors away from home – this means
building your own bed and sleeping in a tent. Aboriginal Junior Forest Rangers live
at home and work in the outdoors – you will learn more about your community and
aboriginal heritage. Whatever program you choose, you will face similar challenges,
work experiences and endless fun.
