The Mendocino National Forest is gearing up for summer with a round of seasonal hiring. The Mendocino National Forest says job announcements for recreation and timber technicians should appear this week on USAJOBS, with positions based in Covelo, Upper Lake, Chico and Willows. Applicants need to be at least 18 by their start date. Forest leaders say the seasonal crew helps keep campgrounds, trails and public lands ready for peak use.
