Hi Climbers - I'm looking for a few climbers for a few days in August or Septmember to help finish my ecology grad research in CA (close to Mt. Shasta). Details are below; please contact me (Jessica) for questions!
Thanks!
Help wanted:
Tree-climbers (2-4) to help with forest ecology research project in the Klamath National Forest in northern California. Responsibilities involve climbing mature white fir trees (approx. 20-40†DBH and 60-90 ft height) to remove single branches from the mid-canopy for a conifer needle nutrient study. This is a short-term time commitment of 2 or 4 successive days in mid/late August or early September 2006 (dates and number of days will be determined based on climbers’ availability). The project site is located approximately 1 hour south of Klamath Falls, OR and north Mt. Shasta, CA.
This project will provide: lodging in USFS research house, $44 per diem reimbursement, and generous compensation.
Climbers must be in good physical condition and provide: personal transportation to the Goosenest Ranger District (Macdoel, CA), personal climbing gear and protective equipment, and proof of current medical insurance.
Please send a brief description of your tree climbing experience and a list of 3 references to Jessica Miesel at
