Intern - Forestry

Wages range from $21 to $23 per hour

At Sierra Pacific Industries, you’ll do more than study forestry. You’ll gain hands‑on experience managing working forests while learning from experienced foresters.

This is a field‑based internship. Forestry Interns spend the majority of their time working outdoors alongside forestry professionals in active timberlands. Interns should be prepared to hike on steep and uneven terrain, work in varying weather conditions, and perform physically demanding fieldwork.

Forestry Internships offered by Sierra Pacific Industries may provide opportunity for employment upon graduation from our interns’ respective degree programs. Completion of an internship is not a guarantee, nor an offer of employment.
