The workshop is intended for anyone interested in applying for Forest Service jobs. However, to be considered for employment, applicants must be 18 years of age or older at the time they begin work.

"This is for anyone who has thought about working for the Forest Service, whether it be here in the local Tusayan area or anywhere across the country," said Heather McRae, a forester on the Tusayan Ranger District and the workshop coordinator.

To be considered, write a letter of interest to Cecilia Owen, Coconino County School Superintendent, 110 East Cherry Avenue, Flagstaff, AZ 86001. For more information, call her office at (800) 559-9289 or (928) 779-6591.
