Firefighter jobs for qualified former offenders

The State Forester Firewarden must run a hiring program for former offenders. You may be appointed to a classified firefighter job with the Division of Forestry if you worked on firefighting in a conservation camp, finished the camp’s firefighting training, have all required certifications, and meet any other qualifications the Forester sets. The Forester can adopt rules to carry this out.

Housing and forestry training for parole-eligible offenders

The Department of Corrections can run a transitional housing and forestry training program with the Division of Forestry. It serves offenders in custody who qualify for minimum-security placement and were denied parole only because housing was not available. The program provides housing plus training in forestry management and conservation. It helps remove housing as a barrier to parole and prepares people for forestry work.
