The Bonners Ferry Ranger District is seeking
volunteers for the Snyder Guard Station Host
Position starting in the spring 2013. This is an
ideal position for friendly, high energy folks
looking for an inexpensive, quiet setting in
return for host responsibilities on a National
Forest treasure.
Applications will be accepted through February
15, 2013.
An application packet may be obtained at the
Bonners Ferry Ranger District, 6286 Main Street,
Bonners Ferry Idaho, (208) 267-5561 or via email
request with attention to:
pahart@fs.fed.us,
spetesch@fs.fed.us or
ssteinhorst@fs.fed.us.
The application packet includes a detailed list
of job responsibilities. Selection will be made
by March 1, 2012, and the host will be placed in
late April. There is some flexibility with the
start date.
The forest will provide a newer, single bedroom
house on site for the host. This position is
intended for individuals or couples, but due to
the small size of the home it is not adequate
for couples with children.
Applicants must be willing to commit to a full
season, which is approximately one year.
Depending on job performance, there may be an
opportunity to renew the contract for an
additional year.
The forest will not consider applicants who have
full time employment elsewhere because it is
important to have a host available on site. A
couple may apply if one person has other
employment and one person intends to assume the
hosting responsibilities.
There is a small storage shed for private
possessions. The house includes appliances and
is partially furnished. During the winter months
there is a monthly use fee of $225 charged to
the volunteer to help defray utilities and
maintenance costs at the host house.
For more information please contact the Bonners
Ferry Ranger District at (208) 267-5561 or visit
the Idaho
Panhandle National Forests website.
