Work alongside women who understand the struggles of working in the male dominated conservation field. A previous crew member describes, “As Zia and I sat together we began to laugh and talk as if we’d been the best of comrades for many years. This experience of closeness became a very common one as the summer went on. We were nearly delirious from the heat and as we all had one of our first uncontrollable laughing fits as a crew, I felt some of my anxieties melt away and a wave of comfort swell around me.”
The Women's Field Crew focuses on creating an experience where women can come together and work as a crew to tackle trail work projects, live in remote woodland settings, and focus on personal and professional growth within their team. This crew is for anyone who identifies as a woman and/or femme. We welcome trans applicants who are comfortable in a femme-identifying space. As part of the Women's Field Crew, you will be with other female identifying individuals with a focus on getting work done for America’s public lands.
Crews will work and camp for up to 10 days at a time in frontcountry and backcountry locations in all types of weather conditions. Each member will get basic first aid/CPR certifications, and, more importantly, a professional stepping stone to agencies like BLM, Forest Service, and the Parks Service! Beyond that, you are helping so many others to connect to the great outdoors and improving our environment.
