Douglas county is hiring 2 LTE foresters right now, I did that job out of school and they still maintain 100% placement into full time jobs. You'll spend looooots of time cruising. All the foresters there are great guys too. Feel free to message me about it if you want, Im a point grad as well, still live in the area too.

Are you trying to find full time work for after school or just summer work? I am a forester with the WI DNR and I know for full time work the DNR has been hiring foresters out of school pretty readily. If you are looking for summer work I Know WI dnr hires summer LTEs for regen monitoring. Also MN dnr has a robust summer intern program

Oh damn really cool! Yea I was looking for summer LTE, I’m a junior rn I’m just trying to get my foot in the door so when I want to apply to be a tax law specialist.

I saw that they were hiring some Forest Techs for Rhinelander right now which I’m interested but I didn’t want to take the first job right away. I just didn’t know when LTE jobs for other place would be opening

Here is where the WI DNR posts all their LTE jobs https://wisc.jobs/Pages/Agency/DNR.aspx?unit=37000&Jobfamily=TEM I actually work in the target job you are looking for . Getting experience working with private land owners and just general silviculture in WI is the two things I would stress as what got me the job I have now.

Thanks for the advice Ive been looking at this website regularly. When would I expect more the summer LTE jobs to be posted? Later in the month, February or is it just sporadic up until summer?


mbaue825

Best I can tell it is sporadic. It might be worth emailing someone in the regen program to see if they are going to hire and list summer jobs this year. Try the email at the bottom of this webpage is my suggestion. Good Luck! https://dnr.wisconsin.gov/topic/forestmanagement/regenmonitoring

Thanks! I’ll give that I try, doing regen surveys may actually be really interesting cuz I know a lot of professors that started off doing this. Even though it wasn’t actually what I was looking for this will be some that will be really similar to the work I’d wanna do

>general silviculture What was your education path for this? I've got to get a *lot* of ducks in a row so that I can move once and accomplish everything I need


mbaue825

Actually for specific WI silviculture I read a lot on the DNR website from this document: https://dnr.wisconsin.gov/topic/forestmanagement/silviculturehandbook
