its a foot in the door thing.
Try a conservation corps like SCA or something its shit pay and long shitty hours, but youll work with a lot of the federal and state cooperators and get good contacts.

Apply in person.

Well you just called them menial. This is clearly just to satisfy your hobby interest in the outdoors. Employers don't want that.

USFS jobs are not the same as forestry jobs btw.

>>1032100
You doesn't have the qualification? I found out that forestry jobs really needs you to at least have a diploma/degree in the related field to at least be accepted for the interview.

Just like >>1032159 say, even if you think you have the passion to do it, it's just to satisfy your hobby of going outdoors.

The best thing to try is to get volunteering job first, or part time help with tree planting. Animal conservation works is also the same, no qualification, no chance, unless you do volunteer work.
