This includes top level participation in setting national priorities, formulating programs, and establishing Federal policies that relate to our natural environment. However, Forest Service responsibilities and interests go beyond forested lands. Forests and related rangeland, grassland, brushland, and alpine areas, rich in minerals, water, and wildlife habitat illustrate the wide scope of natural resources involved in forestry. Forestry also involves less tangible values such as scenery, air and water quality, recreation, open space, environmental quality, economic strength, and social well- being. To ensure an effective interrelationship among goals and policies, the Forest Service seeks to: @ Promote and achieve a pattern of natural resource usage that will best meet the needs of people now and in the future. @ Protect and improve the quality of air, water, soil, and natural beauty. @ Help to preserve and enhance the quality of “open space’ in urban and community areas. @ Generate forestry opportunities to accelerate rural community growth. @ Encourage the growth and development of forestry-based enterprises that readily respond to consumers’ changing needs. @ Seek optimum forest landownership patterns. @- Improve the welfare of the underprivileged. @ Develop human resources through a variety of special programs such as the Senior Community Service Employment Program. @ Involve the public in forestry policy and program formulation. e Encourage the development of forestry throughout the world. @ Expand public understanding of environmental conservation. © Develop and make available a firm scientific base for the advancement of forestry. The Forest Service realizes the importance of being responsive and alert to the changing needs of a dynamic society. Sensitivity to problems and flexibility in solving them are basic to successful leadership in the preservation of our natural environment. The Forest Service needs a competent staff of technical support personnel including technicians, aids, skilled workers, clerical personnel, and laborers to assist management in ali phases of its work. Since many Forests are in mountainous country, which becomes snow-covered and inaccessible in the winter, much of the technical support work must be done during the other three seasons. Tree planting work is usually done in the spring or fall. Fire control work is largely confined to the “fire season,” the period of greatest fire danger. In the Western States, this is during the summer; and in the Eastern States, this is in early spring and late fall. During the summer months, the supportive staff also works on flood control; disease and insect control; brush disposal; timber stand improvement; and construction and maintenance of roads, trails, campgrounds, sanitation facilities, and buildings. The supportive personnel employed by the Forest Service play a very important role in the accomplishment of the mission. The following categories cover some of their duties and qualification requirements: Forestry Aids and Technicians perform various duties in one or more areas of forestry, including collecting and recording tree height and diameter measurements, recording data collected from rain gages, thinning young timber stands to increase productivity, maintaining public campgrounds, and serving on a firefighting crew or asa lookout at a fire lookout station. Hydrologic Aids and Technicians collect, select, compute, adjust, and process data; prepare charts and reports; and perform related duties supporting professional work in hydrology. Physical Science Aids and Technicians assist professional employees by performing duties such as calibrating and operating measuring instruments, mixing solutions, making chemical analyses, setting up and operating test apparatuses, and compiling and processing scientific data. Biological Aids and Technicians work in biological and agricultural laboratories and field or experimental areas such as greenhouses, growth houses, hatcheries, and wildlife refuges. They provide technical support and assistance to professional personnel engaged in scientific and technical work. Engineering Aids and Technicians assist in the survey, design, and construction of forest roads, trails, recreation areas, bridges, and buildings. Knowledge of transit, level, and staff compass techniques; survey methods and procedure; notekeeping; and safety practices is required. Surveying Aids and Technicians serve as members of crews doing such jobs as route survey work, construction staking, chaining, clearing lines, notekeeping, and other work involved in preliminary surveying. They may also serve as firefighters during periods of high fire danger. Range Aids and Technicians perform various tasks in connection with the management, conservation, development, utilization, and protection of forage and related range resources for livestock or big game. Trade and Craft Workers, such as Carpenters, parachute repairers - and packers, welders, cooks, bulldozer operators, and others experienced in specific trades and crafts, are employed for construction, maintenance, fire control, and other projects. Forest Workers/Laborers are assigned duties such as eliminating undesirable trees, pruning trees, building firelines, planting seedlings, digging ditches, and loading and unloading equipment and tools. Clerical Personnel are involved in a variety of tasks such as typing and filing, and telephone and receptionist duties. The clerical staff provides assistance in all clerical related functions in support of the agency mission. ae sere AZo. SQURATITS xe Qualifications Aids—GS-2 and GS-3 are the beginning grades for range aids, forestry aids, engineering aids, and surveying aids. Candidates for aid positions must have at least one- half year of general experience for the GS-2 grade, and 1 year of such experience for the GS-3 grade. In some cases, high school graduation may be substituted for the one-half year of general experience. Technicians—Technicians usually begin working at the GS-4 grade level. Candidates for these positions must have a minimum of 1% years of general experience and 6 months of specialized experience—a total of 2 years. High school or other education can be substituted for parts of the general and specialized experience requirements. The exact amount of substitution allowed is determined by the nature and length of the subjects studied. Schools offering forestry technician programs are listed at the back of this publication. GS-5 positions generally require 3 years of qualifying work experi- ence with at least 12 months of spe- cialized experience or 180 quarter credits of college or technical school education with some spe- cialized course work in two or more qualifying courses or a combination of work experience and college or technical school education. At least 12 months of the qualifying work experience must have been at the GS-4 level. ne Clerks—For grade GS-2, 6 months of general office experience or graduation from high school is required. For grade GS-3, 1 year of general office experience or 1 academic year of substantially full-time study ina resident school above the high school level is required. Trade and Craft Workers— Generally 6 months of experience assisting a journey-level worker is required for eligibility to apprentice or helper positions. Usually, 1 month of day-class attendance ina trade school may be substituted for 1 month of required experience. Journey-level trade/craft positions require from 1 to 3 years of specialized experience. Laborer—No previous experience or education is required to start as a laborer. However, to perform the various manual tasks, applicants must be in good physical condition. Other Qualifications Applicants must be U.S. citizens and at least 18 years of age on the day they report for duty. The Forest Service is an equal opportunity employer, and appoint- ments are based on qualifications without regard to race, sex, creed, age, color, national origin, religion, handicap, or political affiliation. Pay General Schedule salaries are reviewed frequently, and changes are recommended to Congress and made as needed. Information on current pay scales is available from any Forest Service office or from Federal Job Information Centers of the Office of Personnel Management. Wages for laborers and people in trades and crafts are based on rates paid by non-Government concerns for similar work in the area in which the job is located. Coordinated Federal Wage System Schedules are published once a year based ona survey of geographic areas. Since there will be a time iag of approximately 4 weeks before new employees receive their first paycheck, they should be sure to have sufficient funds to cover expenses. After the first paycheck, they will be paid regularly every 2 weeks. Benefits Vacation and Sick Leave—For vacations and other purposes, most Federal employees earn annual leave according to the number of years they have been in the Federal service: 13 days per year for the first 3 years and 20 days per year for the next 12 years. After 15 years, they earn 26 days of annual leave each year. Sick leave is earned at the rate of 13 days per year. It is intended for use for illnesses serious enough to keep employees away from work and for appointments with doctors, dentists, or opticians. Sick leave that is not used accumulates for future use. It is one of the best forms of insurance an employee can have in case of extended periods of sickness. Retirement — Career and career- conditional employees contribute to a retirement fund that provides retirement income to employees and their families or survivors. The Government also contributes a per- centage to the fund. Employees appointed after January 1, 1983, are covered by Social Security as well. A Thrift Savings Plan allows tax- deferred savings for retirement. For post-1983 employees, the Govern- ment also contributes to this plan. 10 How To Apply Most permanent positions in the Forest Service are filled by appointment from a list of eligible candidates furnished by the Office of Personnel Management. An eligi- bility list is established as a result of competitive examination; some ex- aminations require a written test and others do not. If the examina- tion does not require a written test, applicants are rated primarily on the experience and education shown on the completed application form. Whether the examination is written or not, applicants with the highest scores are placed at the top of the eligibility list. Each examination announce- ment describes the criteria (educa- tion, experience, etc.) for rating applicants. Applicants must be on the register of qualified candidates in the OPM office covering the area where the job is located. Informa- tion about these examinations can be obtained from one of the OPM Federal Job Information Centers listed at the back of this publication. For forestry aid and technician positions, the Forest Service has the authority to recruit and examine applicants on a case basis. For each vacancy, the local employing office issues a recruitment notice, accepts and rates applications, and makes the selection. Candidates applying for consid- eration in the clerical field must take and pass the clerical examina- tion given by the Office of Person- nei Management. Clerk typists must also possess typing proficiency. As soon as clerical applicants receive an eligible rating, they may apply directly to agencies for employment consideration by submitting their Personal Qualifications Statement, Standard Form 171, and a copy of their OPM notice of rating.
