Established workplaceCurrent opening not confirmed
A standing programme or a past notice shows this place uses these workers. No current opening is confirmed.
What we found: The land trust publishes a workcamper programme for individuals or couples helping public recreation sites, headquarters operations, education events and natural-resource monitoring. Its community-forest setting is especially relevant to forestry recreation research. The page describes an annual May–October programme and January application timing, but the final notice explicitly says 2025 applications are closed. That discrepancy prevents certification of a current intake. The benefit is a serviced headquarters RV space with shower and laundry access; a wage is not promised.
Staffing evidence: A past notice names this place. Checked October 9, 2026.
