DNR Now Hiring Seasonal Staff For State Parks

MADISON, Wis. – The Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources (DNR) is now hiring seasonal staff for Wisconsin’s state parks, forests, trails and recreation areas. Wages are competitive and the experiences are priceless.

These limited-term seasonal positions are responsible for a combination of outdoor maintenance, groundskeeping work and providing customer service for property visitors. Seasonal work often starts in the spring to early summer through late summer to fall, with some flexibility depending upon the candidate's availability and the property's needs.

Permanent positions are highly competitive (such as park ranger, parks and recreation specialists and the currently open naturalist position). The experiences gained from these seasonal positions are not only invaluable to starting a long-term career in natural resources, but they also create life-long memories.

• Parks and recreation specialists
• Visitor services associates
• Natural resources educators
