This class is the first class in the Forestry Assistant series. This class is distinguished from the Forestry Assistant Senior class by the latter's responsibility for designing and coordinating paraprofessional work projects within a region, state forest or forestry center. Performs work of moderate difficulty by participating in projects designed to improve and protect forest resources. Positions are expected to develop methods and procedures to accomplish tasks or follow existing criteria and practices.
Supervisor is available for guidance and assistance if needed.
Effective job performance results in the successful maintenance and protection of forest resources. Failure to provide forest management and fire prevention could negatively affect the credibility of the agency, the economic condition of the forest industry, and the quality and quantity of the state's forest resources. An equivalent combination of training and experience indicating possession of the preceding knowledge and abilities may substitute for this education and experience. This class replaces the Chief Forest Warden class.
