Cramer Fish Sciences is seeking a full-time SeasonalForestry Technician to join our Portland-based team in support of forestry consulting and natural resource management projects. This role will serve as the primary field lead for CFS's growing forestry program, working alongside a senior forester to deliver timber cruising, forest inventory, riparian assessments, and forest management plan fieldwork for private landowners, tribes, and public agencies across the Pacific Northwest. CFS is a fisheries and aquatic ecology consulting firm expanding into forestry services.
