Kemmerer Volunteer Field Patroller

We are looking for volunteer ambassadors to assist with front country patrol efforts on the Kemmerer District. The volunteers will be based out of the Ham's Fork Campground, which is located on the Big Spring Scenic Backway north of Kemmerer. A campground site will be set aside for the campground host’s exclusive use. There is no RV hookup available, and we will not be able to provide a camper or other housing. The Campground has 13 sites and 2 vault toilets. The Ham's Fork Campground is a good base camp for recreating on the south end of the Kemmerer Ranger District, with just a short drive to Big Spring for a picnic, a scenic drive up Hobble Creek, a variety of hiking trails, and fantastic fishing in the Hams Fork River. Couples are encouraged to apply!

Tentative dates are from May 26 - November 1 (the District is accessible based on snowmelt in the Spring and closed based on snow load in the Fall).

Type of help: Mission Statement: The USDA Forest Service's mission is to sustain the health, diversity, and productivity of the Nation's forests and grasslands to meet the needs of present and future generations. Description: The United States Forest Service (USFS) is an agency of the U.S. Department of Agriculture that administers the nation’s 154 national forests and 20 national grasslands, spanning 193 million acres of land.
