The Intermountain Region is one of nine Regions in the Forest Service. The boundaries of the Region and Station cover most of the states of Idaho, Montana, Nevada, Utah, and Wyoming.
Research is coordinated and conducted at neighboring universities.
If you like people and care about our country's natural resources, the Forest Service needs your time and talents. Students may volunteer to earn college credits through a college approved intern program, or to become familiar with Forest Service activities and philosophy. Many individuals have found that their volunteer experience has guided them towards job interest and possible careers. Retirees or others with skills to share often find that a volunteer position provides them with a nice change of pace. Some of our volunteer positions provide items such as housing, a uniform, a subsistence allowance, and work-related transportation, depending on the nature of the volunteer project and the availability of funds.
