Project Leader Positions in CA

Smokey and FriendsWork in partnership with the BLM to achieve goals developing a Fire Education program with one of three southern California counties.  With the high rate of fires in these counties and the number of homes in the wildland-urban interface (WUI), property and lives are at stake as well as the natural history and the environment.

Each Fire Education team will be made up one project leader and four team members.  Current openings include:

    * Kern County:  This position will be based out of Bakersfield, California.
