Do you want to make a tangible difference in our natural spaces and communities while learning skills to kickstart your conservation career? Join the Student Conservation Association (SCA) as a Backfill Crew Member for our Snow Mountain Fire Recovery Team and embark on a journey that blends purpose with adventure. This is a backfill position - the Snow Mountain Team is looking for another experienced member to join their team for the remainder of the season.  ScheduleJuly 7, 2025 - August 16, 2025  Why Join Us?This isn’t your average 9-to-5 job. As a Crew Member, you’ll be part of a team working on trail recovery projects in Mendocino National Forest, a land still healing from the Ranch Fire. Work with hand tools and chainsaws to rebuild damaged trails, clear debris, and restore trail structures, while building a community with like-minded individuals. Living and working outside will help you develop a unique relationship to the outdoor world. Share sunrises with big trees, commute to work along rivers and streams, or explore vast landscapes of California with your crew.  Now is the perfect opportunity to dedicate your time and energy to a project that helps the planet and people. This is a backfill position. The crew has been in the field since March, and is looking for another experienced member to join the team.  Key Duties and ResponsibilitiesRequired Qualifications·     Must be 18 or older by the position start date;·     Must have the ability to legally work in the US;·     Ability to pass SCA background check;·     Full engagement in all work projects and community activities;·     Must uphold project, crew community, basecamp, vehicle, and general safety standards;·     Commitment to teamwork, learning, and problem-solving;·     Ability to work in challenging outdoor conditions that will include extreme heat, extreme cold, high winds, and precipitation;·     Ability to perform manual, physical labor for up to 10 hours per day, hike 5+ miles in a day and occasionally lift and/or move 40 pounds or more; ·     Current chainsaw certification of A-bucker or higher, current Wilderness First Aid certification  Preferred Qualifications·     Camping and/or backpacking experience;·     Experience using hand tools;·     Strong interpersonal skills and community living experience;·      For driver eligibility, must be over 21 years old, possess a valid driver’s license for 3+ years, a Motor Vehicle Record that meets SCA standards and complete SCA driver training; Marginal Duties: Other duties as assigned.   Your ImpactRebuild trails – You’ll play a key role in ensuring that recreation users can safely enjoy our national forests, helping them connect to the outdoors.Promote fire recovery – Keeping people and motorized vehicles on trails gives surrounding areas a chance to recover and minimizes future impact.Create community – Create and maintain a cohesive community with other participants from across the country.  What We’re Looking ForCrew members will develop skills that will make them good candidates for entry-level seasonal positions with land management agencies like the US Forest Service and the National Park Service. Work will involve physical exertion and be performed outdoors, in varying weather conditions. SCA is looking for members open to new experiences, willingness to perform hard physical labor and enthusiasm for sharing space with others. Experienced candidates will have a foundation in outdoor living (hiking, camping and backpacking) and experience working outside, but this is not a requirement. Eagerness to learn in challenging conditions, actively contributing to maintaining an inclusive community, and adaptability in dynamic work environments are equally important qualities we are seeking in candidates. Conservation work is unpredictable. Crews will have to navigate inclement weather, from waking up in single digit temperatures, to all day sun exposure. It is possible to experience thunderstorms, extreme winds, and smoke all within the same workday. The most successful teams are those who can adapt as challenges arise and continue to work effectively with their team. Success hinges on understanding and addressing both personal and group needs. Participants must be fully invested in taking care of themselves and supporting their crew. SCA's Western Trail Corps is a substance-free program. Consumption of alcohol is never permitted when on duty. This begins at the start of pre-hitch and ends once all post-hitch activities are completed. Marijuana and illegal substances are never permitted. Participants will adhere to this policy, along with other expectations set by SCA. Why You’ll Love This Job:Meaningful work: By maintaining trails, you will be contributing to a positive recreational experience for years to come.  Skills for life: Learn conservation techniques, wilderness medicine skills, and how to build a cohesive, high-functioning team.Real connections: Create lifelong friendships with people who share your passion for the planet.Adventure lifestyle: Expect to camp off the grid for most of the season.

This means more chances to connect with nature, and limited access to electricity, running water and showers.Community chores such as preparing meals and washing dishes will be shared by members and leader. SCA will provide group gear such as tents, kitchen supplies (such as pots, pans, and stoves), and uniform items. Leaders and members will be expected to bring their personal items such as a sleeping bag, sleeping pad, clothing, and mess kit. To support the crew’s efforts, crews are issued an SCA vehicle and trailer for transportation and storage, and a field budget to purchase groceries, supplies, and fuel. What Might the Season Look Like The backfill member will travel to Mendocino National Forest to join the crew who has been working in the field. The crew will work on projects aimed at making trails safe and enjoyable for recreation users. Priorities include Bathhouse and Deafy Glade Trails. The crew will end with crews traveling to participate in cleaning up tools and equipment at a designated derig site. Work ScheduleIn general, members should expect to work on their project for 80 hours within a two-week span. Different projects will require different schedules. Some crews work 8 10-hour workdays with 6 days off, others may work 4 10-hour days with 3 days off. Members and leaders are expected to share community tasks, like cooking meals and shopping for food, outside of working hours. Off-time activities vary from crew to crew. Some crews use off-time to explore surrounding areas, such as visiting local National Parks. Other crews curl up in a coffee shop to decompress. Some crews do a bit of both. However your crew schedules rest, time off is an opportunity to recharge before getting back on trail. Join Us.
