How Do I Apply for a Wilderness Ranger Job?

Wilderness Ranger Positions

There are two kinds of wilderness ranger positions: temporary seasonal and permanent seasonal.

Temporary seasonal jobs are generally more numerous and more available. Temporary seasonal wilderness rangers are those we hire for the upcoming season.

Permanent seasonal positions have more responsibilities and are typically filled by experienced rangers. Permanent seasonal jobs are wilderness rangers we guarantee employment to every season.

Permanent and temporary seasonals share many duties and usually work side-by-side.
