    Always good to see another person in the EHS field. Super jealous you do it on a National Forest though! How would one go about finding a position like that?

    Check USAjobs. We only have I would guess 180 or so of us that work for the Forest Service in the nation. Usually it's 1 per Forest, 1 at a Regional office and there is 3-5 at the Washington DC office. Then we have a couple at each of the R&D centers.
