Southeast Conservation Corps wants a sawyer-leader to run a camping crew in the Cherokee National Forest from January 18 to April 30, 2027. The crew drops trees into streams with chainsaws, grip hoists and rigging to create woody habitat for aquatic species, packing up to 50 lb of gear across steep ground. You must already hold a USFS B-faller chainsaw certification, and experience with trail rigging or leading young adults is a plus. Pay is $925 to $1,125 per week depending on experience; food and transport are covered while in the field overnight, but housing on off-hitch days is on you. Applications start being reviewed September 28, 2026, with selections by January 4, 2027, through Conservation Legacy’s online portal.
