Hello Friends- thought this would be a good place to share exciting opportunities to work building trails or caretaking right near the AT for a small hiking club.
Randolph Mountain Club Trail Crew
The Randolph Mountain Club will have openings for both first year and experienced trail crew workers as part of its nine persons, seasonal trails program.
Work consists of clearing and maintaining trails in the Northern Presidential area of the White Mountain National Forest, including: brushing, blazing, and clearing of blowdowns. In addition, much of the summer will be spent on erosion control projects, consisting of placement of rock steps, rock and log waterbars, drainage, and bog bridge construction. Work sites are often remote, and the crews frequently camp near the work site. Housing is provided in Randolph valley during days spent out of the woods.
Required experience: Enthusiasm, previous outdoor experiences, and willingness to work hard in the mountains - often under adverse conditions.
If you enjoy strenuous work in an alpine setting and don't mind spending a summer completely covered with mud, bugs, and dirt – this is the job for you!
The dates of employment will be from early June through late August.
Application deadline is March 15, 2007
Randolph Mountain Club Caretakers
The Randolph Mountain Club also has seasonal openings for caretakers year round. We are looking for friendly and courteous people interested in educating the public by example. Work consists of living at our camps at tree-line just below the Appalachian Trail and Mt Adams at 4300 feet. You would act as liaison between the RMC and the hiking public who use our trails and cabins and shelters.
Caretakers keep our facilities and the surrounding environment clean and orderly and perform routine maintenance on the camps. Housing is provided during days off in the Randolph Valley at our Stearns Lodge base camp.
Application can be made at any time
