Trail work on the Kenai refuge, which is close to two million acres of Alaska and largely roadless. The job is building and maintaining public-use trails and the structures that carry them, meaning boardwalk and bridge construction as well as clearing downed trees and debris. Because the ground is remote, part of the work is coordinating how supplies and people get in, by aircraft as well as vehicles. Hand tools, power tools, chainsaws and crosscut saws are all in daily use, and the incumbent also supervises youth conservation corps participants. The announcement is candid about the physical demand, naming walks of up to fifteen miles a day in mountainous isolated country in poor weather. Permanent career-seasonal at WG-5, running roughly late February to late November each year.
