A pair of incumbents will work together and independently of the supervisor to 1) patrol roadside and in backcountry areas in the Beartooth Wilderness, making public contacts with roadside Forest visitors, campers, and backpackers to educate and ensure food storage compliance (bears); 2) conduct inventories of fences along and near Forest roads to support fence removals and modifications to occur in the future, and 3) conduct roadside surveys of hikers destined for trailheads used to access high-elevation grizzly bear (moth) foraging sites. Training, a vehicle, and other basic equipment will be provided. Some backpacking and short overnight stays in the backcountry will be required. Otherwise, work will be out of Forest Service housing along or near roads. Incumbents should be in good physical condition and comfortable with working in grizzly bear country. The supervisor will mentor the incumbents and provide guidance on how to prepare for and obtain Forest Service wildlife jobs.
